Apr 9, 2008 Copper amber with a large white head and hazy masses of floating debris. Rarely have I seen such an ugly beer. It gets a rare 1 for appearance. The aroma is much more promising: honey malt, yeast and alcohol are a heady combination. The taste has sweetness, sour alcohol, dark fruits and a lovely rather basic leathery taste. There’s a little bitterness, but the main impression is malt.

May 7, 2009 Bottle from case and keg. Amber pour, big beige head. Aroma is a typical BSA. Toffee, yeast, brown sugar and fruit. Flavor is a bit understated with some malty sweetness, wet wood and darker fruits. All in all just average at best.

Apr 21, 2004 Pale Yellow with an gentle white head. Whisps of cloud within. Light yeast and stong tropical fruit (pineapple) aromas. Flavour starts sweet and lemony with a yeasty but clean finish, a trace of the baking soday foaminess. A drinkable light Belgian except that it is hiding a 10.5% alcohol content.

Jul 29, 2007 Huge shiny offwhite head. Hazy amber body. Strange thin fruity and herbal aroma. Thin, sharp, vomity alcoholic taste. Dry, sugary vomity aftertaste. Dreadful. Absolutely disgusting. (0.33l bottle from Dorstvlegel, Antwerp. May have been off. BBF was 10/2009.)

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.
