| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 30, 2008 Tasting, courtesy of Fordest’s event. Beer #11. Copper color with a small white head. Super sweet nose with plenty of mixed berries and some funk. The taste was a bit washed out compared to the aroma. The flavor featured subdued grapes and berries. The mouthfeel was soft and silky. The finish was short with a bit of caramel and some brett. Overall: A good beer--thought it was a saison at the tasting. brewblackhole (1370), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA

Looks nice in the glass. Decent Belgian,thanks Kingpin RCL (1460), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 30, 2008 Hints of winey-ness in the aroma. Dates and spices follow through, with a lightly acidic, but pleasant flavor. Nice. blankboy (3201), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 25, 2008 My bottle (750ml) shared with HogTownHarry, tupalev & garthicus -- courtesy of gunhaver. Pours a cloudy orange-amber with a spare diminishing white head. Aroma’s sweet with some light funkyness, citrus and a bit of candi sugar. Flavour’s a mix of sweet and sour along with caramel, some fruit and a light bitter finish. Light to medium bodied. Pretty nice! tupalev (2611), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 20, 2008 Bottle shared with Blankboy, Hogtown Harry, and Garthicus, blankboy’s bottle. Very fresh, yeasty, fruity, candy sugar aroma. Neat hazy orange, small white head. Taste is fresh, yeasty, fruity, and sweet. Almost like a kicked up Kool Aid from Belgium. Not too bad really, simple but enjoyable. garthicus (1274), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Shared with blankboy, garthicus and tupalev, blankboy’s bottle. Cloudy orange, small white head. Dry, old-wood aroma, dusty, musty and mildly funky, orange and lemon zest. Dry, spicy, orange zest and ultimately really sweet. Sticky, light body, light astringency and a bitter spicy finish. I liked it, didn’t love it.
