Mar 12, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. 2004 bottle. Lots of sweet malts, citrus, yeasty sourness on the nose. Very sweet flavor mellows almost immediately into a bitter lemon peel finish. Very complex and excelent brew. Wish I could try the 2000.

Mar 5, 2009 The bottle looks very children-like, but not bad. The beer in the glass is okay. The beer starts very strong and complex, malty and alcoholic. Notes of christmas-spices. Finish bitter-dry. Very good, but a bit too alcoholic.

Mar 1, 2009 2007 bottle. Let me start by saying that this beer was the most prolific gusher I’ve ever seen. Even after half the bottle had been poured, it was still gushing. Not to mention it was one of the eeriest looking pours I’ve ever seen. Poured a cloudy orange with yeasties like crazy. the yeast particles just hung in suspension, they didn’t fall out at all. weird looking. Aroma is aolt of citrus and other fruits and plenty of medicinal belgian yeast characteristics. Flavor is more of the same with some spiciness. Easy to drink for the ABV. Maybe it was all the other fantastic beer I had this day, but this one just wasn’t doing it for me.

Feb 28, 2009 11.2 oz. bottle. Sour, yearty aroma features orange, candy sugar, and crabapple scents. Pours a hazy, cloudy, effervescent orange/amber with huge, uneven, cream-colored head. Beatiful appearance. Very sweet taste with a bitter bite at the end. Spicy flavor, especially pepper. I’m not feeling it. Medium body. Forthy, lively, and silky in the palate. Some alcohol burn. Remarkably forgettable for such a big beer.
