| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 26, 2007 Aroma: Very spicy aroma, peppery with some fruit.
Appearance: Light beige head, huge upon pouring. Clear, amber with reddish hue. Attractive.
Flavor: Some bubblegum esters with a strong spicy backdrop. No hop flavor, but a firm malty backbone is present.
Palate: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: Easy-quaffing beer, no frills, but solid nonetheless. jerohen (1615), Bussum, Netherlands
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 17, 2007 Ginger Man, NYC. Funny Americans pronounce this beer way different than Dutch and Flemish people do, it took me quite some time before people understood what i wanted. But nevermind. Golden/orange coloured, small head. Fruity and refreshing, some bubblegum. Indeed a bit odd, as the name suggests (’rare’ means odd), but pretty nice. RiverHorse (454), New Jersey, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 17, 2007 This beer pours a dark amber color with a creamy, bubbly head. The foam really sticks to the glass as you drink. There was a little sediment floating around in the beer. Fruity, malty smell. It tasted very sweet with a great malty and tart finish. This is a good effort from Ommegang. I am going to have to stop in for a visit to the brewery the next time that I am up at the hall of fame. biz82 (1328), austin, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 8, 2007 Nearly clear dark pink with a noisy head. Spicy, fruity aroma with raspberry and black pepper. Clean and dry, crisp on the palate, perhaps a little thin. LIghtly fruity and spicy. Though this beer may be aged it seems to me that it would be best fresh and on draught.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 5, 2007 Bottle. Pours copper in color with a huge creamy off-white head that leaves huge chunks of lacing. Sweet aroma of fruits and light alcohol. Great mix of malts, spices, and fruits in the flavor. Sweet throughout and a medium body. A nice one to have around! JB175 (1664), Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 4, 2007 Cloudy orange-amber color with a big foamy head. Yeasty & fruit filled aroma. Taste is sweet with a nice mix of spices and darker-sweet fruits. Overall pretty good. BeerFanDan17 (628), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 2, 2007 Delicious Belgian Ale in the style is supposed to be. Rich and golden, strong and flavorful. If you’re looking for an ale that takes a flavor like Yuengling and runs with it, this is a good beer! rmussman (906), California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 28, 2007 Another good brew from Ommegang. Aroma is semisweet. Appearance is cloudy brown with a nice head. Mouthfeel is so smooth. Goes down effortlessly. Flavor is very malty with hardly any hops. A very nice brew.
