Clove and corriander dominates, with some fruity character. Good. IrishBoy (2726), Bakersfield, California, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Feb 23, 2008 Nez très épicé de coriandre et de gingembre avec des effluves citronnées. Texture claire et pétillante. En bouche, le goût est assez sucré. Cependant, la bière est un peu trop pétillante à mon goût, on dirait presque une boisson gazeuse. puzzl (2660), New York, New York, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/20 | Feb 19, 2008 Bought this in Montreal a year ago. I can’t imagine one year would be too long for an 8% Belgian, but perhaps it is. When I opened the bottle a fantastic aroma of absolutely fresh dough wafted out, one of my favorite beer scents. It was all downhill from there though. Closer sniffs were a bit vegetal and muddy... then I tasted it. Yuck! Undrinkably bad. Overly fizzy with a disgusting finish. I don’t even know what to say. I can’t take another sip to describe it any more. In all honesty though it doesn’t seem like anything has gone wrong with this beer, I think it just really sucks. MJGG (424), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 27, 2008 Bouteille brune de 341 ml. Arômes épicées, avec une touche d’alcool. Robe dorée, belle effervescence. En bouche, les épices (coriandre, poivre) sont très présentes et agréables. L’arrière-goût montre une belle pointe d’alcool. bu11zeye (5675), Frisco, Texas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 17, 2008 (Bottle) Pours a cloudy golden body with a spare white head. Aroma of orange peel, apricot, lemon, light floral, coriander, and ginger. Flavor of citrus, spicy clove, banana, and coriander. Brouwser (119), gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 31, 2007 Bière blonde aux reflets orangé et couleur pêche. Le col blanc est moyen et reste peu de temps. Bière peu effervescente en apparence.
Le parfum est dominé par les céréales et ensuite les levures, avec des notes légères de résine et d’herbes.
Le goût assez sucré porte des nuances d’agrumes, d’herbes et de maïs. Les épices annoncées sont subtiles. Le goût est bien équilibré. L’alcool élevé (8%) n’est pas envahissant en bouche, mais laisse un arrière-goût agréable de cigare.
Le palais est vif, pétillant, frais, voir aérien…
Somme toute, c’est une bière d’intensité et de complexité moyenne qui est toutefois remarquablement bien équilibrée.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 22, 2007 WOW!! I knew nothing about this beer until it arrived from Markus in a trade, MUCHO THX!... Now what the heck am I opening??
The beer pours a hazy golden hue with a falling fizzy head but left some lace upon my NB worthy glass. The aroma has notes of coriander, cardamom, orange zest, banana, grassy and herbal hops, and biscuity malts....hum a Double Wit maybe?
The taste follow suit spot on, spicy acidic, fruity, bready and wheaty...this is a a Witbier or at least a spiced Saison right? There is some diacetyl notes BUT it is minor and is overcome by the twang and spice. The mouth feel is lively and sprite, refreshing. WTF 8%??? No way Jose I tell ya. Interesting am I sort of digging this, gosh you gotta love a surprise from left field. Methinks I need to find the other RJ dAchouffe brew.
