| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 9, 2004 The aroma is powerful of coriander and black pepper. The color is an unclear orange and it has a fine disappearing head. The flavor is rather sweet with notes of alcohol, coriander, lemon, and acidity that runs over the tongue. kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 1, 2003 Dark muddy tan (I broke out the Duvel glass for this?); aroma of peach yoghurt, glue & plastic (yum!), figs, candy bananas (damn, I've learned the eczematic art of making an appetizing aroma sound awful). Malty-yeasty palate leans toward peachy esters. Texture is almost creamy. Malts are dominant, but yet neutral-tasting. Dry finish courtesy of alcohol and some herbal (styrian) hops. I'm amazed at how obvious styrians are to me these days. It's scary. Overall, decent but not worthy of a Duvel glass. Underattenuated, too. argo0 (6986), Washington DC, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Nov 12, 2002 Opaque orange body with almost no head. Aroma is slightly sweet, a bit of spice (pepper, coriander). Flavor is fairly mild, a bit of sweetness that becomes cloying as it warms, some pepper and other spices. bu11zeye (5621), Frisco, Texas, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 13, 2005 12 oz bottle-nice golden color, cloudy. A good ale with a bit of hoppy to it. Rastacouere (5564), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 9, 2005 Very diminishing white head covers a light golden body with tiny yeast floaties. Malty aroma contains interesting pear notes, but little else. Floral and biscuity palate procures a mellow warming. What saves it from being redundant remains those not unpleasant cork notes that work pretty well with the leafiness and coriander flavours. Light-medium body, medium carbonation. Alright, but Heavyweight has proved it can do better at Belgians with its recent line of Saisons..
