| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 13, 2007 Thanks to Beerdrenched for picking this highly rated Biere de Garde for me. Pours lightly hazy copper with a huge beige head. The aroma has toasted malt, dry caramel and hazelnuts. Medium / full body with medium-sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with earthy caramel, various spices and some nuttiness. The finish is fairly sour and sharp with an amber ale taste that stays around. This just came across to me as an okay beer. It is not dates, so either this is an old bottle or this just isn’t my thing. bierkoning (6100), La Tropica, Netherlands

Hopbitterm earthy citric flavor with touches of caramel and butterscotch. Pleasant beer, not world shocking, but tasty and an easy drinker. skibumphishead (180), USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 26, 2007 750 from the Spirit Haus... gotta love living around the corner from a sick beer store. Pour was cloudy dark amber into a tulip. My stuffy nose from my allergies prevents me from getting the full aroma. The mouthfeel is like an oily IIPA. The flavs are rye bread, hops, grass, and citrus. The hop flavor is like the hop rod rye... it’s strong, piney, and spicy. The beer is refreshing as a saison or farmhouse ale should be... this was a delight to drink.
