| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Apr 25, 2008 Bottle from sister. Looked interesting - all gingery and frothy, but taste was a bit of a let down. Inoffensive, but lacking oomph. Not a Bock, but then again it does say amber ale, somewhere on the label anyway.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a small frothy off white head that leaves decent spotty lacing. The aroma is a bready malt with caramel. Thin mouthfeel with a light roast malt with caramel, raisin and brown sugar. Easy to drink a good belgian ale from Celis. SpudClampDawg (1027), Jasper, Indiana, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 15, 2008 12oz bottle: Clear amber body with a finger-thick white head. The aroma offers an interesting mix of banana, bubble gum, toffee and soft roast. The body follows suit, adding layers of vanilla, raisins and apple esthers. The body is complex, yet lagerish and drinkable. A very nice example of the style. Jerre (1768), Waregem, Belgium

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 25, 2007 Bottled. Rather sweet, full flavour. Enormous carbonation.
Sweet and sour. OK, but not outstanding. fiulijn (7420), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Aug 9, 2007 Hazy copper color. Aroma of sugars, maybe some caramel too. Quite dry mouthfeel, some caramel flavor, old, expired. Not interesting. LinusStick (1851), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jul 29, 2007 Updated: Feb 5, 2008I would never guess this was a Belgian ale in a blind taste test. Aroma of malt and honey. Pour was a light brown with no head whatsoever. Taste was of honey, orange and nuts. A wet aftertaste with some bitterness in the end but very thin and diluted.

In mouth, a sweet malt with honey, light yeast, and orange peels. Medium bodied. Bieropholie Import. BB 28/10/06
