daniele (908), Italy Nov 21, 2008 oro schiuma media discrta persistenza note etiliche speziatoi maltato erbaceo in bocca malto erbaceo etilico finale leggermente amaro tarheels86 (149), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Nov 21, 2008 330 mL bottle. Poured into Delirium tulip glass, which is the best beer glass on earth by the way. Pours a cloudy bright yellow with a massive white top. Aroma is spot on with lots of yeast, citrus, apricot, bubble gum, and spice. Taste is like a double witbier: tons of citrus, cloves, yeast, and sugar. Very malty but still well balanced. Slight warming alcohol but overall the 8.5% is perfectly hidden. This is one of my all time favorite beers. Aftertaste is a little sour but still good. The only downside to this beer is its outrageous price tag- but I’m going to ignore that for now. ericandersnavy (191), denton, Texas, USA Nov 20, 2008 bottle from lonestar in carrollton, tx. poured a hazy yellow with a thick white head with sediment floating around. lacing was excellent and it had a bubbly effervecent to it. aroma was banana, bubble gum, and clove. flavor was banana, clove, earthy spices, and some alcohol. palate was chunky and a little dry and had med body and carb. a very good BSA. Gary (16), on vacation, France Nov 20, 2008 I love the bottle label and drunken emphasis all over the place.Its a text book belgian ale i reckon. A bit like duvel with less street credd. Lots of spice and dryness complementing a warming alcohol phenol hot rawness ...and fat heavy malt base that’s not too sweet .A shitload of fruit ester kick in the finish like apple and bananan leading this into that wheatiness vibe you get in strong golden Belgian ales. Ober (507), Best, Netherlands Nov 18, 2008 A yellow/golden colored beer, with a thick foamy white head. It leaves a nice lace on the glass. The aroma is sweet, with a little sour, malty, fruity and there are hops. The taste is a little fruity sour, with sweets and a hoppy bitter. The aftertaste is little fruity, with some sour and bitter.
