Dec 13, 2008 750ml Bottle: Aroma of hops, apples, grass, yeast, and slight spices. Poured copper/amber/orange in color with a large, dense, creamy white head that diminished but lasted throughout.

Tastes of yeast, hops, slight fruit, grass, light grains, nectar, light malts, and a touch of vanilla. Medium body. Smooth, chalky texture. Average to lively carbonation. Hoppy, bitter, lightly dry finish.

Dec 12, 2008 From a 330 cL bottle, 16 months after bottling date.
Pretty clear, nice rosy amber color. Thin head with tiny bubbles. Very little sediment.
Earthy cavey aroma. I could make out little else.
Fairly thin, with lots of earthy hop flavors. Easy drinking with a big lingering hop bitterness.

Dec 8, 2008 Nice, cloudy dark orange color with a big off white head. Some serious bittering hops in there that shine through on the finish and you know it is belgian by that yeasty and earthy flavor. Aroma is a little spice and a little citrusy. Bit of a creamy and full bodied texture. Decent and refreshing drink that could be drunk year round and not just at the holidays. All that spice does qualify it as appropriate for this time of year though.

Dec 5, 2008 Orange colour with a thick collapsing lacing white head. Cellary nose, spices, floral hops. Flavours, if any, are dominated by a sharp bitter hop cut from start to finish. Nevertheless a nice beer indeed.

Dec 2, 2008 33 cl, bb Sept 2013. Gushing from the bottle, this opaque orange-brown beer has a large meringue head that settles down to a small disc and leaves sticky lace everywhere. Aroma of resin and honey. Flavor is similar, with plenty more resin on the finish. Near-medium body is almost smooth and very hop-dry.

Nov 27, 2008 750 ml bottle. Pours a cloudy light orange color. Aroma is citrus, hops, notes of yeast, and a touch of spice. The flavor is slightly sweet, and has a unidentifiable (to me) spice that gives it a unique taste. Overall I was impressed by this brew.
