Sep 29, 2008 11.2 oz. Pours a deep orange with a nice off-white head. Decent aroma. A bit sweet, with tastes of plum, raisins, apricots... a bit of hay and honey and a nicely balanced suite of spices. Nice mouthfeel and a surprisingly dry finish. Way better than I expected, and at 8.5%, it definitely packs a punch although the alcohol is well hidden. Good stuff!

Sep 12, 2008 On tap @ redlight redlight. Golden with a fluffy head that fades fast. On the nose, floral, light spicy hops, yeasty and indistinct fruits. Sweet with spicy/earthy hops fruity. A mellow bitter finish, a little dry. Light to medium mouthfeel. No hints of the 8.5% here. Quite good.

Sep 8, 2008 Updated: Sep 11, 2008I love this beer, it’s one of my favorite Belgians. The color is beautiful glowing amber. The nose is enchanting, fruity and almost honeylike. Flavours abundantly fruity, with impressions of sour apples, sweet pears and juicy peaches. There’s sourness and sweetness in there, and yet there’s also the spicy bitter touch of the hops. The alcohol is well masked, there’s no burn at all. With its pleasantly tickly bubbles, and perfect mouthfeel, this beer is just heavenly.
