Apr 10, 2006 062205 bottle. Pours a fizzy beer with a thin film of a head. Light orange yellow. Nice nose of berries and heat. Sharp up front then a hit of Canadian whiskey, yeast and musty basement. Can taste the bite from the candy sugar (?) but for all the talk of the mega hops, I only get a hint of spice. The bitterness is there, but little flavor or aroma. OK in my book.

Apr 5, 2006 Updated: Aug 9, 200612oz bottled on 062205. Pours a hazy golden with no head, just a little white fizz around the edge of my Duvel glass. Aroma of earthy hops--kinda reminds me of New Glarus’ Hearty Hop IPA. Update:There is a little candy sugar sweetness and dark fruits in there as well. Did my research and turns out New Glarus used Goldings hops, so hooray, I’m right. Toffee malt backbone. Pretty high bitterness throughout, kinda grassy and citrusy, at some point in there I caught a little caramel sweetness.. I thought that the alcohol would be a little more noticeable than it was, which was not much. Dry finish. Not terribly carbonated, but still sharp on the tongue. Not my favorite of the reserves, but still good. Old rating:3.5

Mar 28, 2006 Hazy golden brownish pour. Head quickly disappears. Grassy floral aroma with a light amount of sweetness. Taste is crisp - has the grassiness of the smell, nice citrus flavor between orange and lemon. More hop flavor than normal for a Belgium style. Very unique and enjoyable beer. I would gladly have this again.

Mar 22, 2006 Orange color with a quickly diminishing white lace head. Fresh grass, citrus orange, flowers, and some hops all blend together in the aroma. The flavor add some alcohol and a lot more of the grassy hops to a body that seems a little light. Interesting, but wasn’t really what I was looking for.

Mar 21, 2006 Thanks so much Ariane and Lo! Nice dark orane color, small white head. A somehow chemical nose - fruity - orange. Hops, orange - a bit sweet, lavender taste - when a short bitter kick. It grows after a while. I like it.

Mar 19, 2006 Orangy nose, hazy orange color, low fizzy head. Odd malt and yeast combination, doughy at times. Spicy corriander end. Bitter from hops? Wierd. Out of control, really. Takes getting used to though. A little far from the style.

Mar 11, 2006 Pours a hazy orange with a off white head that dissapates into a thin film covering the top of the beer. The aroma is floral with some caramel malt and a small fruitiness. Getting some banana, some wheat, some alcohol, and some dark fruit in the flavor. It is malty over most of the tounge with a bitterness in the finish that seems more alcohol than hops...somewhat dry, somewhat warming with an overall semi-light body.

Mar 8, 2006 Bottle. I’m beginning to think that we (Americans) brew Belgian beers better than the Belgians do. Clean, crisp taste w/ a hint of alcohol. Hops almost remind me of 90 Minute IIPA, but with more candy sugar in the body. Good beer.
