Feb 8, 2008 Bottle, 6.8%. Clear dark copper colour. Small tan head. Citric, spicy aroma. The flavour has a nice, subtle spiciness that makes it very drinkable. Citric notes, orangy. By no means overpowering, but very pleasant and well-balanced.

Jan 4, 2008 Gingerbread-orange aroma, not too strong. Dark brown/red, small white head. Taste very strong chocolate and orange, just like after eight orange candies. Good, long, malty finish. A bit too sweet unfortunately.

Dec 28, 2007 0.75 l bottle. Dark amber color with small head. Malty, caramelly and toffeish aroma. Sweetish, malty, toasty and toffeish flavor with notes of vanilla, wood and some caramel. Pleasant.

Dec 23, 2007 Pours a dark reddish color with a quickly disappearing white head. Smell is of orange peel and some spice. Taste is sort of like watered down orange pop, which isn’t a good thing. This could have been so much better, but it wasn’t. Mouthfeel was thin, with medium carbonation. I didn’t really care for this one, I would maybe try it again in a very distant future.

Dec 23, 2007 Pours copper w/ a tall, spattered froth. Head retention is good slowly dissipating to a fluffy spattered ring that lingers. Mild aromas of orange and bitter malt. Light to medium nectar w/ ample residual effers creating a soft texture. This beer really grows on me. The delicate flavor profile yields just enough keeping this brew on the refreshing side of the spectrum never overpowering. Bittering my palate precisely upon arrival then pushing orange meat and rind into view. It reminds me of a Saison w/ orange pulp and rind spice added. Other tropical nuances w/ apricot, cherry, and apple skins. The finish is bittered nicely w/ a touch of alcohol seeping through. A nice little beer packig a punch w/ it’s sturdy 6.8 abv. Interesting, refreshing, and well recieved.

Dec 23, 2007 Bottle@Home. Sweet ginger aroma. Amber color, off-white head, good lace. Sugary, ginger, herbal bitter, dry mouthfeel. Spices are out of balance with the sugary sweetness. Not a good beer from Jelain.

Dec 15, 2007 Copper color; small disapating head. Slight aroma of amber malt, caramel and toffee. Flavor also has notes of ginger, orange liquor, mixed spices and flowers like a light saison but this is a Winter brew, Brazil nuts, medium toasted malts, and honey. I’ve had this beer many times over the years and am always happy to see it again, though it’s not as big and bold as many of the Belgian holiday brews. This one I’m having is fresh but I’ve aged it and find it’s good at least two years old.
