Spicy aroma with some graininess and fruit. Very perfumy but a bit sweet and cloying. Fruity, spicy. Not as sweet as expected from the nose. Kind of unidimensional. Medium, vivid, enveloping flavor.

ChainGangGuy (2522), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Nov 21, 2008 Appearance: Pours a hazy, yellow body with a smallish, white head. Some sediment rolling around in there, too.
Smell: Belgian malts coated in candi sugar, honey, spices, hunks of fruit, and even some flower petals.
Taste: Pale maltiness augmented with a kick of candi sugar sweetness. Fruity tastes of lemons and pears. A tad floral. Spoonful of orange blossom honey. The tiniest pinch of Chinese Five Spice. Mild hop bitterness. Slight yeastiness. I must say the 9% ABV is well hidden. Sweetish, fruity finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium-high, effervescent carbonation.
Drinkability: My my, that’s not half bad! Reasonably tasty and surprisingly easy to drink down. blutt59 (2042), Dallas, Texas, USA Nov 20, 2008 bottle, thanks to bu11zeye, clear yellow pour with 1/4" foam head, aromas are light herbal, flavors are vegetal and herbal such as celery and mint BMan1113VR (2755), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Nov 20, 2008 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. pours with a foamy white head and a hazy yellow body.
