This is not something I could drink alot of, but for one pint, it was amazing. A deep hazy amber, and a tan - orangeish frothy head. The aroma is full of acidic fruits but as it warms more complexities are present and some darker fruit flavors wave their head. The alcohol was present but subdued and fades way in the finish from the rich malty character. sliffy (2012), Columbus, Ohio, USA

Tastes of sweet malt, citrus, a touch of alcohol. A growing bitter finish. Enjoyable. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 31, 2005 12 oz bottle, from the Woodmans in Janesville, WI. Hazy, particle-strewn apricot with a soft moderate off-white head....yeasty, bready (sourdough/rye) aroma, touch of cider, fairly sharp at first but with growing softness....sour-tangy bready malts mix well with the moderate yeastiness, lemon and sour apple at the fore and a touch of lactose, vinous qualities grow with warmth....lots of breadth in the thick body with a little bit of limestone quality in the mineralic, somewhat bitter finish....it’s grown on me with the second bottle, a nice solid session Belgian I think. vtmobile (41), USA

Intensely hoppy with a bitter follow through mixed with moderate citrus notes on the palate. One of my favorites. footbalm (1219), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

Very yeasty aroma with hints of candy sugar and fruit. Some spice in the background. Flavor all sweet caramel malt up front, with some more candy sugar and spiciness in the finish. Tad too carbonated for me. atpayne (615), Zionsville, Indiana, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 5, 2005 From John’s Grocery in Iowa City. Pours a slightly cloudy rusty orange with little head. The aroma is nice. There are citrus hops and a toasted malt. It’s spicy and tangy with great piney bitterness and toasted malts with a nice alcohol hick and finish. Fairly nice finish is a combo of eurpoean hops and a alcohol.
