Mar 25, 2005 The Grand Cru is a bottled-conditioned Belgiun style ale with a wonderful crispness. The taste was full with some cinnamin notes. There is definately a familiar spiciness to this beer which makes it great for entertaining friends during the holiday season.

Feb 23, 2009 Pours from the 12 oz. bottle a pretty golden color with almost no head, just a modest collar. Light carbonation...several bubbles rising to the top, but it’s far from fizzy. Aroma is sweet & friuty. First sip is sweet malt & citrus, with a spicy bitterness. There’s a fizzy, champagne-like sparkle on the tongue. Aftertaste has a spicy finish with notes of citrus, alcohol, & mild hops. It’s a very drinkable beer, maybe TOO drinkable with it’s very well hidden 7.2% abv. Overall...quite a wonderful, tasty Belgian to warm you up on a cold winter’s night!!! If you see it in the cooler, grab it!

Dec 26, 2002 This beer pours into the glass golden color with some slight white cloudiness. The head is white and foamy but does not last. Good carbonation. The aroma is sweet and mellow. Has fruit, bread, malt, hints of nuts, and a spices inner twined all through it. The taste was fresh and crisp in the beginning, which is nice. Sweet malt, hops, bananas, (nuts (kind of a butter flavor behind the nuts) only way I could possible describe this flavor) some fruit, and a slight peppery and alcohol to it at the end. This beer perplexed me at times trying to describe it to the people with me.
Good experience.

Oct 24, 2003 (bottle conditioned) Pale golden, near brilliantly clear. Sour, pale malt and spice aroma. Nice malt flavor trailed closely by sour and peachy highlights. Nice assertive spicy bitterness lingers in the dry finish. Medium bodied and moderately carbonated, this beer lacks the "musty" quality often found in Belgian beers. Approachable complexity.

Jan 28, 2003 Pretty good. Poors a light golden color, smells like banana bread. Lots of really tiny floaties. Creamy mouthfeel. Not much of a finish, a little bitterness, I'm not sensing the dryness. Overall, I like this one. Thanks to dberger624.

Nov 7, 2002 The beer is bright gold in color, with an average head. Huge nose, that is very fragrant with yeast, hops, and I believe coriander. The palate is medium in body and very flavorful. I really like the Belgian yeasty/spiciness in this winter ale. It is very drinkable for its alcohol content. The finish is long fruity with a blast of sweetness.
