| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 18, 2009 Bottled 0,75l. (@ Opus K, Lohja, Finland) Pours slightly hazy yellow with a undertone of orange. Medium-large, lasting head. Nicely vivacious, flowery aroma is very pleasant and it is also of acidic berries, fruits (apple) and on the other hand ther’s also some notes of sweet honey. Light and tickly carbonated, but really nice on the palate. There’s some nice funk in the flavor. There’s also raw apples, yeast and some spices. Mildly bitter and acidic aftertaste. ABV perfectly hidden. A refreshing beer. TBone (6790), Pori, Finland

The aroma is wonderful, the yeasty aroma is fresh and wonderful. The taste is spicy and yeasty, sweet, bitter and rather complex. Would be easy to down a couple of these on a nice summer day. zootfinster (179), Chicago, Illinois, USA

Medium alcohol taste. Evenly displayed hops and malt. very smooth. Not exactly the stereotypical strong ale but never the less a delicious beer. Under-age Drinker (96), Colorado, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 5, 2009 Very hazy, golden wheaty pour. A good size head. Flavor is bitter orange on the front with orange rhine. Tastes like yeast, apricot, cirtus, somewhat of a light example of a Belgian strong ale in flavor profile and appearance, but it finishes like an American strong ale, a little heftier
