Jul 18, 2007 Bottle. Poured a deep amber with a fairly big head that dissipated rapidly. Sweet malts with some spiciness. Then something goes wrong with a harsh bite. Is it the yeast or not letting the wort cool? Belgian style? A shame...

Jul 8, 2007 Bottle: Pours a dark amber color with a small white head. Strong aroma of carmel and yeast. Flavor is very fruity and carmelly malts with hints of banana and anise and lots of belgian yeast. A little alcohol warming at the end.

Jul 3, 2007 Pours slightly hazy brown, thin foam. Aroma is malty and a bit hoppy, with a lot of caramel and sugar. Flavor is a mix of everything, fruity, floral, spiced, caramelly, a little hoppy and lots of alcohol. Medium body is a good complement, finish is a bit boring.

Jun 29, 2007 A good contrast beer after you’ve had, say, a kolsch or something. Nice amber body, lightly spiced, not sure exactly what style of Belgian they’re going for. But while this one has some pleasant characteristics, it’s far too sweet and caramel-y, with a too-thin body.

Jun 26, 2007 Cru d’Or Organic Belgian Style Ale
Beautiful amber color; poor head. Some malt and a lot of caramel; low bitterness, and without character, not really Belgian Style.
