A fairly weak aroma, but what was there was slightly yeasty and sweet. Flavors were hard to come by too, but it was grassy with a peppery finish. I will try again to see if it was a bad bottle, but this just didn’t do it for me. It wasn’t horrible, but sometimes being blah is horrible enough. Bockyhorsey (2552), Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 15, 2006 Bottle: Not the best aroma but a decent fruity odor along with a stonger malt presence. Clear gold body with decent white head. Flavor has a zesty sour citrus to the beer. Carbination will give you a good lemon citrus belch along the way till finish. Citrus zesty lemon aftertaste on palate. ontario102 (794), Boise, Idaho, USA

Refreshing, copper-colored beer with a light sweetness, hints of black pepper, clove and cinnamon. Very drinkable, but a word of caution. This beer does NOT go well with pizza.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 30, 2006 Thank you hopdog. Copper colour with significant white head. A yeasty and mildly spicy aroma. Somewhat medium or less mouthfeel and drying aftertaste of saison-like ale. This is not a Fantome, but is a reasonably tasty pepper spicy chai cardemon drink.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 24, 2006 12oz, Best before 15JAN07. Pours a clear golden with a fading one finger off white head. Aroma has the typical Belgian yeast that they use in the Abbey and Trippel, with some bananas, dusty biscuits, bananas and maybe a little brown sugar. Flavor is quite different and more like a saison. Has some tangy oranges and spices, with the aforementioned bananas, yeast and toasty malts--somewhat sweet but not too bad. Light to medium carbonation, body is much the same. Not as good as their Biere de Mars, but not too bad. bu11zeye (5621), Frisco, Texas, USA
