Not as powerful an aroma as I expected. Body is lighter than it should be. Lacks the complex flavors expected in an exotic Belgian ale. A pretty simple beer with great malty yeasty finish.

Second ferment in the bottle. An average beer from this world class brewery. Sweet taste followed on by tart and peppery spice and fruit, then long and dry aftertaste. Try just before meat dinner in lieu of wine.

Intensely sweet malty-hoppy nose developing some gueuzish vinegar as it warms. In fact, it smells exactly like gueuze. But flavour-wise, crisply hoppy with a nicely rounded bready maltiness in the finish. Pleasantly metallic. Somewhere between a very sweet malty lager and a hoppy straw ale. Tasty and refreshing.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 31, 2008 Bottle purchased at John’s Grocery in Iowa City, IA. Pours a hazy copper with a creamy ecru head that diminishes to a skin at the surface and laces nicely. The nose is of toasted barley with a touch of floral hops in support. Medium-bodied and creamy with a lightly bitter and mildly dry finish. The flavor is of toasty, sweet and lightly sour malt with a mild supporting note of floral hops. This is a pretty solid brew. I’m surprised to see it with such a low average rating. KingGambrinus (117), Santiago, Chile
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 22, 2008 (Bottle) Pours a clear amber with a creamy white head. Aroma of apples, grass, honey, caramel, and sweet malt. Bittersweet flavor, hoppy, sometimes watery but in general, it has a good medium body. A very drinkable and well balanced amber ale. rayOfBeer (319), El Cerrito, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 27, 2008 poured from bottle an amber color with off white head. Aroma comes off as slightly hoppy almost like a light IPA. The flavor hits with a malty sweet floral hoppiness, but has a slightly astringent bitter ending. I like how this beer starts I just wished it had a stronger finish for the price.
