Aug 22, 2009 A quality beer from an amazing brewery. The pour was hazy, light orange and the aroma was that of grapefruit. The flavors were varied with lemon, malt, light spice and hops from beginning to end. The finish was dry with some delightful bitterness. The alcohol was well hidden in this complex beer.

Aug 18, 2009 A fairly straightforward, golden belgian ale, reminiscent of Duvel, but lacking that beer’s rustic complexity - semi-dry, with just a mild sweetness behind that - some herbal bitterness, light spicy character, moderate yeasty character - some peppery note and a very mild yogurt-ish quality way in the back - enjoyable, but forgettable - I’d probably enjoy it more if it were "bone dry" like the commercial description states.

Aug 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow-gold with nice white head. Aroma is yeasty and citrus. Flavor is yeasty and a bit grassy and peppery with touches of fruit and hints of sour. Clean, dry, and slightly spicy finish. Great stuff, way to go devil.

Aug 13, 2009 750ml bottle purchased from Southbay drug, Pour is a bright orange with a lacy head of white cream. Aroma is spicy and very drop hops. Alcohol stings the nose but the alcohol is hardly overwhelming but its there. Also there is ginger, pepper, and grass. Flavors are much the same - grassy and pepper. Sharp carbonation, with a lingering harsh finish. I’m not sure what was intended with this beer, but it isn’t an easy drinker and its not particularly fun to examine. Its harsh and just a touch alcoholic. But its beautiful to look at and I want to like it... but that’s not enough.

Aug 11, 2009 bottle poured a cloudy golden on color with a foamy white head. aroma has spices, yeast, grains, and a bit of funk. mouth feel is fairly light with plenty of carbonation. flavor hits off with a bit of spice, yeast, wet grass, and gets a little funky and sour in a nice way. I like the drying finish and the flavors are well put together.

Aug 4, 2009 Bottle courtesy of thirdeye11. Hazy golden appearance. Aroma of warm grain, rice and some lighter fruits. Slightly bland upfront that transforms as it continues on. Warm alcoholic tingle on the finish. I don’t think this quite lives up to the hype but it was solid.

Aug 4, 2009 750 mL. I feel like this beer has gotten some bad reviews and has been liken to Duvel (gross). This is much more refined and very good in my opinion. Pours a clear apple juice amber (with the yeast a very hazy bright orange) with a towering three-finger white head that leaves some ungodly lacework. Big aroma of white grapes, chardonnay, white pepper, spicy/funky yeast, coriander, Granny Smith apple, apricots, sour peaches. Taste is very saison like with a big yeasty dryness with sour light fruits pervading. Finish shows some bitter orange and a spicy alcoholic bite.
