FatPhil (1960), Espoo, Finland May 5, 2008 Updated: May 7, 2008 330ml bottle (St. Urho’s, Helsinki)
Gold, healthy self-supporting head. Sweet fruity and peppery hop aroma. Soft palate, light carbonation. Fruity and light taste, sweet and estery. Some hops too, and a bit of banana yeastiness and toffee. Then more noble hops. Long finish. Can’t quite hide the 8.5%, but it’s not a boozy drink at all. Solid strong Belgian.
twitcher (116), framingham, Massachusetts, USA Jul 15, 2008 bottle. Pours a bright clear yellow, big fizzy head that stays very well. Aromas of sugary sweetness and some light clove and citrus notes. Flavor is much sharper and bittersweet, some yeast and grain flavors. Very sharp and carbonated on the palate, giving it a very champagne-like character. Very unique. VitaminR (241), USA Jul 15, 2008 Huge spicy and clovey nose. Hazy orange with a large frothy head. Sweet toast ,some mild funkiness and medium bitterness. Huge carbonation, lightish body, long smooth finish. Excellent spicy complex beer. AndyReynolds (13), Wilder, Kentucky, USA Jul 14, 2008 Light tan beer with a thick white head. Sweet aroma with a hoppy fragerence to it. Went down pretty smooth with a bitter bite. Had fruity, citrus taste. Lt_Col_Catsup (6), New York, New York, USA does not count Jul 13, 2008 A great overall beer. Light color with medium to high carbonation. Drinks like a soda almost with the taste of licorice and a high alcohol content Yves (276), Beerse, Belgium Jul 13, 2008 Light blond coloured beer with small white head, medium carbonation. Hoppy aroma. Full sprankling palate. Finish is hoppy and little dry.
