Pours a hazy gold with a long-lasting moderate white head that laced the glass very nicely. An incredible amount of floaties in this beer that seem to hang as if in suspended animation. Pleasant aroma of citrus, apples and sugar. The flavor is similar and is fairly sweet. Fairly strong alcohol burn at the finish. Metalhead (570), Lake Zurich, Illinois, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 26, 2008 "Ok, bought this 11.2 oz brown bottle beer at my local bottle shop for an affordable amount, $3.95, never saw it before. Slightly hazy pale yellow. Good visible sparkling carbonation appears within. Gunk on bottom promotes a hypnotizing swirling show in the glass towards the end of the bottle. Pretty large creamy head even with a gentle pour. Sweet aroma and not alarmingly volatile for a 10% beer. Starts off friendly then evolves to a more strong taste. Fairly strapping alky bite but it’s tempered with a goodly amount of welcomed carbonation on the palate. You’d never think this was 10%. Makes this beer pretty interesting and I don’t like to be bothered with higher alky beers. Goes down fairly easy and is much more agreeable than many of the tuffer beers I’ve tasted. The taste progression is first kind, then alky impact builds and finally it levels off to an agreeable friend. Finish is non-assuming and not appalling for such a strong brew. Impressed with this 10% brew. Perhaps it’s my state of mind today. S6L4T4F3012"

Pours hazy golden.
Aroma, yeasty, grainy, close to honeyish.
Taste was fruity, with the yeast notes reminiscent of many Belgian ales.
Some nice sweet honey, with touch of fruit (apple).
Alcohol is well present, beer remains highly enjoyable. Bontus (301), Waasmunster, Belgium
