| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 28, 2008 (Bottled, 7% ABV) Slightly hazy orange with a smallish, white, quite lasting head. Aroma of honeyish, pale malt, yeast, and hints of alcohol. Peppery-spicy, pale-malty, reasonably hoppy, neutral-dryish flavor with quite strong yeastiness and some acidity. Medium body with soft carbonation. Some similarity (hopwise) to Saison Dupont. Indeed a pleasant and refreshing exception to the boring Dutch bock style - although it’s only a bock by name. Me liked!
