Bottle. Pours orange with an off white head. Remarkable aroma, very close to a ten. Sweet orange and other fruits, almost floral hops but not quite, then cinnamon and nutmeg to round it out. Nice body, but the flavor doesn’t quite live up to the aroma. Same spices and ripe, sweet fruit as in the aroma, but they just don’t quite mesh as well. Still very good though.

does not count  Oct 4, 2008 I have been holding on to this particular bottle of beer for about a year. The beer pours a wonderfully golden haze with a head that lingers nicely. The aroma has hints of pine with a bit of licorice (at least for me). It would be difficult to find any flaws in this beer. Balance is the key. Overall, this Belgian beer isn’t as sweet as others that I have enjoyed which sets it apart. I would highly recommend this beer - enjoyed in the proper Orval glass of course!

Oct 4, 2008 11.2oz, pours a cloudy/murky orange. It had a beautiful, long lasting off-white (but constrained) head. Very spicy, flavors of tangerines, oranges, hops and pine... a bit sour. REALLY well balanced and an excellent dry finish. I love this beer.

Oct 2, 2008 One of my new favorites. Poured a dark orange/gold with a big head that slowly sank back into the glass. Great aroma of citrus and spice. Tickled my nose. The flavor was near perfect, a well balanced beer. Will purchase again!

Oct 1, 2008 Pours a murcky golden raisin color. Nice sized foamy head. Tons of lacing.
Aroma citrus, malts and spice. The beer starts off tasting good but has a rather dry bitter finish that I don’t really care for.
