| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 25, 2006 Cork and Bottle Liquors, Baton Rouge, La. - 750 ml paper wrapped corked bottle. Dark, murky orange pour with a slightly off white clingy head that leaves sticky lacing. Aroma is different with some ripening vegetable notes, a hint of citrus. Flavor is a bit muttled. Pick up hints of nectarines, caramel, ripening vegetables. Just does not meld together well. Mouthfeel is thick enough. Slightly underwhelmed. outerupt (133), Richmond, Virginia, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Apr 19, 2006 750ml bottle. A beer as elegant as it’s blue and white wrapped packaging. It pours a beautfiul firm white head atop a hazy, unfiltered flaxen gold. The aroma of hops is instantly discernable from the glass with fresh baked bread and white grapes following close behind. The beer is very well knit with the most refreshing bite of hops on the finish. One of my top picks from Belgium and the world. beervana (781), Libertyville, Illinois, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 14, 2006 (03.25.06) On tap at Firkin’s, Libertyville, IL. Hazy orange hued Belgium strong ale with giant white head. No discernable carbonation. Light sweet malt and wheat in the nose. Full bodied ale that starts with moderate malt sweetness with fruity/caramel flavors. Finishes with light malt fade and citrus hop flavor. No discernable hop bitterness. Malty rich-tasting, smooth, and well-balanced. No funky sourness or medicinal phenols detected. This is an excellent drinkable Belgium ale that works especially well after a meal. harrisoni (6828), Ashford, Kent, England
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 10, 2006 Bottle. Deep gold colour with thin white head. Attractive citric hop aroma with grapefruit. Carries the alcohol well, more grapefruit and dry slightly herby hop finish. I like this. Good flavour, light in feel, yet 8.5% Magjayran (1379), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 6, 2006 Foggy orange color with a massive white head. Tart green apple aroma. Sweet malty flavor with a strange, not quite ripe fruit flavor. Carbonated as all hell which works well for this beer. Very nice. ThomasE (5178), Copenhagen, Denmark

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 24, 2006 Daintily, slightly light orange body...Pleasant, cellared and musty aroma - slightly spicy. The flavor is slightly fruity: peaches - again, slightly spicy and generally full-bodied. A decent beer! notalush (2676), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 24, 2006 Cloudy straw color with moderate lace - rather musty, almost sour/lambic-like/barnyardy aroma, but hints of background sweetness and herbal, tea-like qualities - very yeasty flavor, with mild sweetness and bready malts - herbal/grassy flavors, some lavender and other flowers - relatively complex, but mild and drinkable - a pretty nice beer.
