| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 22, 2008 This was the beer chosen for the first round of drinks for my bachelor party in Montreal. The alcohol content is tremendous, although it is less (percentage wise) than some other strong Belgian beers. I found the alcohol level overpowering the taste of the beer, but it did the job that evening. Rciesla (3897), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 19, 2008 Bottle and draft. I feel like its a top3 craft beer in terms of how many people have tried this beer. Pours hazy golden body. Aroma is sweet fruit and etoh. Flavor is really sweet some spices. decent. kiefdog (1650), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 18, 2008 75cl bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a golden orange-yellow with a very thin white head. Smells of spices, sweetness, wheat, straw, grass. Flavor is syrup, ripe fruit and faint spiciness on finish. Medium-bodied and full of flavor, this is an enjoyable Belgian ale. krisp727 (3), Dunedin, Florida, USA does not count | 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Jun 18, 2008 I’m not sure that there is a much better head and color out there. The palate is apricot, lavender, green apple, and a hint of nutmeg. The malt is smooth. The finish crisp, dry and tingly. . Be careful though, it’s so easy to drink that you can very easily be the butt of quite an amusing day after anecdote. meisterbrauMHB (54), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 17, 2008 Very nice head that lasted forever. Nice amber color, slightly cloudy. Aroma was yeasty but pleasant. A hint of apple notes followed by nutmeg that reminded me of a Thanksgiving pie. A slight alcohol flavor that lingered. This would be good beer to savor after the company has left for the night. rader58 (195), Leawood, Kansas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 16, 2008 Clear blonde with a fast diminishing head. Has an almost sweet initial flavor with an ever so slight alcohol taste. A short, dry finish. Slepkov (18), Ithaca, Alabama, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 15, 2008 Pours a hazy orange tinted yellow, with a coarse and small head. The carbonation is visibly coarse, with large and effervescent bubbling. Head dissipates rapidly, leaving little trace of its presence. On the nose, the aroma is both yeasty and fresh, with mango and banana notes, followed by passion fruit. Mouthfeel is terrific. Light and mineral, with some interesting metallic notes. The yeast flavour is unique and enchanting. The carbonation is actually quite welcome and balanced! The alcohol is well integrated, even for 8.5%. Well done. Can I get something similar from America for half the price? Yes. IlanMan (850), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 10, 2008 Thanks again to Nick for this one. Pour is mostly clear light golden with a full white head. Aroma is strong of floral aromas, light citrus, and yeast. Flavor is very full hiding the alcohol pretty well. Fairly well balanced but could use a little more work. Good brew. May buy again but not really worth the price.
