Citrusy. Fruity. Malty finish. Full bodied. Very complex. Drinkable. Very nice beer. goldtwins (4084), Nesconset, New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 12, 2005 Thanks to CaptainCougar. Poured a hazy golden amber with an off white head. Aroma is sweet, spicy, clove, and buttery diacetyl. Spicy flavor and medium body. For me diacetyl hurts a beer a good bit. CaptainCougar (5519), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 7, 2005 Pours a clear copper brown with a frothy off-white head. Has a musty, earthy, semi-sweet, peppery aroma with some butterscotch and cooked vegetables. Starts earthy, dry and bittersweet with a nicely spiced semi-tart balance. FInishes dry and mildly warming. A nice replica of the Belgian style but could be a little more complex with less diacetyl. Thanks to slob for the trade! aracauna (2391), Georgia, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 5, 2005 This red-bodied beer pours with a large head. The aroma is brightly citrusy along with a bit of banana. The malt in the flavor is fairly dry. wunderbier (1267), Tampere, Finland
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 5, 2005 Amber to a deep red hue. Tall, frothy, off-white head. Huge butterscotch/diacetyl aroma. Alcohol, banana, pineapple, caramel. Moderately sweet, moderately acidic flavor becomes a lightly sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Slightly oxidized. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, moderate alcohol. The bottom line is: too much diacetyl and alcohol. MrRomero (1934), Nolanville, Texas, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 5, 2005 Bottle: Poured light briwn with a fizzy off white head. Diacetyl nose with mild vinegar notes. Big carbonation. Buttery flavor with mild Belgian yeast qualities. Short finish. Shag (1923), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 26, 2005 This was probably the best beer sampled at McKenzie’s. It had a reddish orange appearance with a fair amount of head. It was a little bit on the thin side but flavorful nonetheless. I tasted cherries, raisins, grapes, and some light citrus notes. Pretty good example of the style. jeffin7 (610), Silver Spring, Maryland, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Mar 28, 2005 Pours a rusty amber with a huge head that fades slowly. Aroma of hay, spice, slight barnyard, and mild dark fruit. Flavor is a blend of elegant fruit, malts, wheat, sugar, and tea like hops. Interesting and different. Rich but light and drinkable.
