Mar 16, 2004 Orange gold color. Small head. Aroma is orange and fruity. A medium bodied Belgian ale. Malts are fruity and sweet, orange and apricots. Yeastiness is very subdued. Soft carbonation. Smooth and flavorful, but the flavors seem toned down to a very mild level. Slightly sweet finish. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet. Bottle # 142 of 375.

Jan 2, 2008 Tap at Beachwood BBQ. Dark orange. Super fruity aroma. Maybe like orange tussin w some yeast and spice. Flavor is medicinal at first followed by oranges, yeast, spice, a touch of grain and a light funky flavor. I thought it was a little thin, but it was interesting.

Mar 14, 2004 Thanks to Beerguy101 again. This belgian ale pours with an orangeish amber body topped by a medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. The aroma is sweet, malty and spicy wtih a slight citrus note. The flavor is sweet and fruity with a very slight spiciness and a touch of yeast. Medium to full bodied and smooth with a slight dryness.

Dec 24, 2007 On tap at the Carlsbad PP with golubj. Poured a brownish color. Aroma was of chocolate and dark fruit. Flavor was very sweet, which I happen to like. At the time I described it as "drinking liquid brown sugar joy." Very enjoyable beer from the people at Drake’s.

Oct 14, 2007 Listed as Belgian dark GABF 2007. Dark tan pour w/ a light tan head, good lacing. Light bread aroma, some clove, pretty light and basic. Good wellc arbonated palate. Nice flavor. Sweet malts, coming through as sugars.. maybe its the yeast... anyway sugar on bread w/ a dry finish and a touch of honey. very nice brew.

Nov 16, 2007 On tap @ Drakes. Bready aroma and deep copper color with small off white head. This was like Chimay white with a few sugar cubes in it! A bit cloying on the mouthfeel, but a decent flavor. If bottled, it would probably be quite nice after a year or so.
