Strangebrewer (208), Chatham, Ontario, Canada Nov 7, 2009 bottle. Poured dark red-copper colour with almost no head. Sweet berry malt aroma. Average carbonation, medium body. Flavour is lightly spicy with honey sweetness and a touch of yeast. Finishes slightly dry. Nisse666 (319), Göteborg, Sweden Nov 1, 2009 Botle 10 C, 2009-09-16
AR: yeast, honey sweetness
AP: colour - amber body, fully diminishing head
F: yeast, honey sweetness, fudge, x-mass marshmallow, a bit over yeasty like a trappist but not that body etc. A bit tame and boring unfortunatly!
AF: some of above billdrinksbeer (18), Washington DC, USA Nov 1, 2009 Bottle from Rodman’s. Pours a light to medium brown with a thin white head that dissipates quickly and leaves no lacing. Malty aroma with some dried fruit and faint grapefruit hoppiness. Very thin mouthfeel, watery up front and a malty finish. Average. My drinking buddy said, "I’m surprised a Belgian brewery gets away with putting this out there." Not enough hops to be really called a pale ale, and not enough flavor to be really called good. tokyogoat (505), San Diego, California, USA Oct 31, 2009 Pours an extremely clear copper with thin off white head.
Nose is red apple peels, candi sugar.
Taste is mostly just a moderately sweeet malt base, kind of sugary, fair amount of floral hops. Slight spice from the hops, but mostly a big floral flavor with slight bitterness. Gypsy19 (603), California, USA Oct 29, 2009 Pours a clear brown with a small beige head that quickly collapses. Aroma is of pilsener malts and just a touch of hops. Flavor is of nutty malts, chestnut, a touch of chocolate. Light, but pleasant. Much like an average American brown ale. Smooth finish, medium mouthfeel. Not great, but decent. Overall, good. Rynoplasty (500), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Oct 26, 2009 Pours amber with a small off white head. Aroma is light and dark fruits with a little caramel. Flavor is light and malty with flavors of caramel, candi sugar, fruit, and hints of spicy hop. Not bad. judasbeer (230), Budapest, Hungary Oct 4, 2009 25 cl bottle. Pours deep golden, light amber color with moderate carbonation and tiny white head.
The aroma is nutty with some caramel malt sweetness. The flavor is pretty similar to the aroma. It’s sweet, toasted malty with
moderate fruitiness and a touch of crisp hops at the end. The body is light with watery texture and fizzy carbonation. jb (1024), Rochester, New York, USA Oct 1, 2009 Murky orange-brown. Some lacing, quickly receding head. Brown sugar, caramel, yeastiness in the nose. Toffee, bread dough, malt in the palate. Inoffensive and good.
