341ml bottle. Poured hazy orange Very small head that goes away fast. spicy and fruity aroma. Hints of citrus as well. Fruity and a bit bitter on the finish. A bit metallic also. Ok beer. Rating #29

341 ml bottle from a trade with jessem. pours very muddy golden. small white head that doesnt last. aromas are spicy and herbal. the flavour is of a big spiced up belgian wit. it improves greatly as it warms. a touch artificial but otherwise good. id give it another try im given the opportunity. thanks for the trade jesse.

341mL bottle from a mixed sixer, purchased from a cool little Dep in Hull-Gatineau while in Otttawa for the 2009 OUA swimming champs. Pours a very deep hazy bright yellow gold with a medium white head, and lots of yeast floaties. Aroma is quite nice, loads of RJ yeast character which I like, wheaty malty sweetness with some typical Belgian strong esters, and an odd slightly sour aspect hiding in the background. As it warms an odd donut powder sugar aspect becomes more and more apparent. Looks and smells pretty good. Flavour is much more interesting than I was expecting. Very rich and full from the yeast, very sweet and fruity, quite malty but indistinctly. Same odd sour touch, very faint but defintiely there. Very drinkable for the 8% abv. Citrusy zing in the finish, and some alcohol but nothing at all cloying. Kind of a creamy sweetness riding on top of some dull dry yeastyness but not enough to balance it. Nonethless still quite good, I’m very glad I managed to pick up this and the mixed sixer.

great fruity aroma, lots of citrus, pineapple, and apricot. Great yeasty flavor, some nice hops. Wow this is decent! much better than i was expecting.

aged bottle...how long? pours a clear golden color with a very thin white head...poor retention. aroma has a mild sourness with citrus and a hint of leather.flavor displays the citrus and leather with a touch of spicy hops and pepper. nice creamy mouthfeel with a mild co2 pop on the tongue. finish reminds me a bit of a saison. nice blonde.

Very hazy golden coloured body with a ton of bubbles and a thin white head. Aroma of strong wheat and yeast with a little lemon scent too. Full-bodied; Strong spicey flavour with a good wheat taste. Aftertaste very strong and leaves the palate nice. Overall, a good beer - definitely worth trying if you can find it. I brought this one back from Montreal on a recent trip up there...hopefully it can be found in other places too though. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased in a small convienience shop in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on 25-March-2006.

Dégusté dans un verre de maredsous, bière millésimé 2008. Apparence trouble avec dépôt de levure en suspension harmonisant peu de mousse.De couleur mangue au reflet orangé. La coriande,le clou de giroffe,le houblon et un zeste de citron et pelure d’orange en font une tarte au citron de grand luxe. La lourdeur de ce pain liquide aborde une bonne gazéification et utilisent les épices olfactifs mentionnés çi haut. La pêche, l’orange et la mangue essaie l’une après l’autre de faire leur place sur le podium, qui gagnera...aucunes, car à tour de rôle, au cour de la dégustation ils ont leur tour: au début,au milieu et à la fin.Pour terminer,l’alcool et le caramel se font un chemin vers les 12 degré celcius et maintiennent cette petite sensation de paralysie sur ma langue. parfois, moin c’est mieux!

Le clou de girofle et la corriande frappe. Fruiter. Bonne. Clove and corriander dominates, with some fruity character. Good.
