pantanap (587), Chicago, Illinois, USA May 13, 2008 750ml bottle...thanks to drewbeerme for sharing this tasty treat and kudos to this being his 1500th rating.... poured a cloudy golder orange with a huge outpouring fluffy barely off-white head that took a little time to settle..... aroma of grassy/earthy hops, orange citrus zest with spices (almost saison like), and sweet candied sugary malt..... flavor was grassy non-bittered hops with a fair aount of sweeter confectionary malts with a pretty dry finish. mouthfeel was nice, very smooth and it hid the alcohol remarkably well. moejuck (1109), Ohio, USA May 11, 2008 Bottle from Glouglougburp. Thanks Dany! Light straw colored body with a big head. The aroma is straw, black pepper, belgian yeast, and citrus. The flavor is very earthy with a mix of spices and some banana. I didn’t care for the flavor all that much really, as it was definitely more like a tripel than a Belgian Strong. drewbeerme (1515), Chicago, Illinois, USA May 10, 2008 Rating #1500! 750ml bottle, 2007 vintage. thanks to Glouglouburp for the bottle! pours hazy golden with whtie head. nose is grassy, lemon, spice, leather. flavors of sweet biscuit and alcohol initially but that evolves into a dry hay, leathery, spicey finish. lively carbonation. alcohol very well hidden. very drinkable and refreshing BSA. Thanks Dany! bu11zeye (3465), Frisco, Texas, USA May 10, 2008 (750ml bottle, 2007 vintage) Pours a lightly hazy golden body with a tall rocky dense off-white head with excellent webbed lacing. Aroma of mustiness, banana, orange peel, perfume, flora, and other herbal qualities. Flavor of herbal tea, orange peel, green peppercorn, and floral hops with a soft mouthfeel and bitter finish. Tasty! brewblackhole (1179), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA May 10, 2008 Very fruity,yeasty aroma extremely attractive, you have to be careful on the pour,monsterous rocky head,so highly charged it literally bites the tongue, top notch fruity ,spicey malt and yeast flavors,alcohol a comfortable companion,some bitterness in the finish,as good a Belgian as I’ve ever had,would be rated higher if not for that carbonic bite. Thanks Kingpin, and thanks Glouplouburp for trading it to him
