Feb 12, 2007 Bottle sampled with Beerded one. Pours a deep copper/ orange amber with a decent size loose white head. Aroma of fruit, citrus, spices, and alcohol. The flavor is smooth, fruit, slightly sweet, citrus, and a slight yeasty biscuity flavor. Good body, decent brew.

Jan 19, 2007 Updated: Jan 28, 2007Draft and 50cL corked bottle under license with Himmerod Abbey in Grosslittgen, DE. It seems like a blend between a tripel and dubbel. The deep amber color reminds me of a dubbel but the nice, slightly sweet flavor trends towards a dubbel. The slight alcohol flavor is warming like a tripel though. Good carbonation and a slowly settling head make this a good bier.

Dec 30, 2006 Bottle. Off-white high creamy and lasting head. Hazy amber body. A bit sharp aroma of cherries and alcohol. Flavor is mild and sweet cherries with a bit of bitterness in the aftertaste, maybe from cherry stones. A bit flat becasue of little, if any, carbonation.

Dec 16, 2006 Bottle.
Pours a full yellow amber with a medium-sized white head and plenty of small floating material. The aroma is heavily fruity, pears and a hint of citrus, lots of alcohol. The flavor is moderately sweet (in a rather uninteresting way) without much of a hop finish; in there I get a lot of sweet light malt, some gin/junipier, decided alcohol flavors, and a bit of cask. Mouthfeel is heavily carbonated and quite warm.
It’s not bad, but I’m not particularly impressed here either.

Oct 29, 2006 There wasn’t much of an attempt to hide the alcohol in this drink. It pours a pale amber with some suspended particles and creamy white head. The aroma is a sweet malt with a sharp alcohol stab. Some bitter cherries are added to the flavor, but the alcohol dominates the finish. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=3879> Belgian Shop, Verviers, Belgium<font size=-1>

Sep 30, 2006 Light brown and considerable carbonation, a loud pop when the cork was pulled but not a gusher. A simple beer, aroma is malt and alcohol, and the flavor is sweet malt and alcohol. The abv is too high for a beer that doesn’t hide it with flavors or aromas. At $9.50 a bottle, I don’t think Rader will last long in my market.
