| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 13, 2009 Citrus and light malt aroma with fruity notes. Light sourness and some spices. Rose colored body with tight bubbly white head. The head on mine had a good duration which helped with the palate. Flavors are malt, some hops, some hay and grass, with a bitter finish. Some dried fruit. Mouth is a bit creamy from the head with a drying bite. Enjoyable. twitcher (293), framingham, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 6, 2009 bottle.
Pours a pale golden color, thin tight head that clears to a ring quickly. Sticky sweet flowery nose- very heavy, thick sweet aroma. Flavor develops much more balance and depth than the nose, with a quick and sharp spicy hop bite on the front, muted sweet caramel and toffee notes in the background. Very dry and astringent on the palate, in a very good way. Some booze shows up in the finish. Schroppfy (1813), Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 3, 2009 Insanely perfumey, flowery nose, with definite acetone elements. Strong hop flavors - astringent, drying. Cottony body, pillowy. Good, but intense, flavors. I would like to age this - properly (this was a dusty bottle obtained at Ye Olde Beer Shoppe)... xnoxhatex (1305), Grand Rapids/Chicago, Michigan, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 2, 2009 Bottle from West Lakeview, Chicago. Cloudy orange with large white head. Nose is citrus, lemon, grapefruit, yeast, off-dry, apricot, some spice, nice. Flavor is dirty fruit: grapefruit, apricot; yeast, spice, alc, maybe a little perfume, dry, Medium to thin with lively carbonation. Nice but dirty and alc at the same time.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 2, 2009 Pours dirty gold with thin white head. The aroma is very fruity and candy – like with notes of apple, apricot, yeast and spice. The taste is very spicy with yeast spice notes and cinnamon. Those flavors are soon followed by big fruitiness by midway from apples, pears and apricots. It ends with a bit of Belgian candi sugar. markwise (1200), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA

Pours hazy yellow-orange with nose of Belgium: yeast, citrus, faint apple, spice, citrus, and an enjoyable caramel/toffee note. Flavor is much the same with pieces of caramel, hops, booze, and a dry finish. Enjoyable.
