Nov 28, 2009 341ml brown bottle drank 09.11.28 : Clear copper, med carbonation, rocky white head. Superb floral nose mix with fruity esters from yeast. It isn’t too yeasty which make it really easy to drink. Body is low to med. Think about the complexity of the Orval minus the brett and you get this beer. A must have in anyone cellar.

Nov 21, 2009 THOUGHTS: Really nice. One of the better Belgian ales I’ve had. A little too bitter at the end for the style, but still nice.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a cloudy, dark yellow with a large, off-white head that slowly diminished and incredible lacing. The aroma was moderate light bread; light resinous hops; moderate yeast; marmalade, light fruits and pineapple. The initial flavor was sweet and acidic; while the finish was sweet, acidic, slightly sour and a little bitter with and average to long duration. There was light fruits, yeast, bread, citrus, toast, more yeast, a little spice, some honey, floral hops and pineapple. The light to medium body was a bit creamy and then dry with fairly fizzy carbonation and a light to moderate astringent finish.

Nov 13, 2009 Mmmmm - HMM!! Yessir, this is one FINE beer! Perhaps the best beer out of Canada I’ve had yet. Poured with a huge, foamy, frothy, fluffy, textured, off-white head that lasts forever and loads of lace. Color is a moderately hazy amber. Aroma is floral, a hint of minerals, hops, malt, spice, and grass. Flavor’s all a that and more. Dryish up front with hints of sweetness that come and go. Little honey in there too. Good burps. Great body and carbonation. Pick up a touch of alcohol in the very end. Could sip this beer on and on and on.

Nov 12, 2009 Bottle. Nice clear orangey color with a white head with heavy lacing. Piney hops, lemon, some maltiness and belgian yeast create quite a bouquet of aromas. Taste is full of pine and malt and a lslight belgian yeast side.
