Bouteille 750ml, courtoisie de Blankboy. De couleur dorée-orange et voilée. Nez de levures fruitées (agrumes, léger de pêche, notes de poires, traces de pommes et de bananes), malté de sucre bonbon, léger d’épices (coriandre, léger de clou de girofle) et de houblon floral et herbeux ainsi que des notes d’alcool et de gomme balloune. Moyenne-ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-élevé et une texture moyennement crémeuse. Goût de levures fruitées sucrées (agrumes, pêches, moyen de poires, notes de pommes rouges, traces d’ananas, de raisins blancs et de bananes) accompagné d’un léger-moyen goût épicé (coriandre, léger de clou de girofle) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de sucre bonbon (assez sucré) avec des notes de pain ainsi que des traces de grains de céréales et de biscuits au miel. Parallèlement l’on retrouve une moyenne amertume de houblon floral, légèrement herbeux et asséchant, accompagné d’un léger-moyen goût d’alcool réchauffant jusqu’en finale où on note également la présence de petites notes de levures épicées (poivre très doux). Post-goût moyen-long et un peu sec, moyennement amer de houblon floral et herbeux, d’alcool moyen et avec un goût de levures fruitées (pelures de pommes et de pêche, notes de zest d’agrumes).

Aug 9, 2008 Bottle sampled at NFB&WF ’08 at Martha Clara Vineyards. Pours a hazy yellow gold, more yellow than gold. Pleasant aroma of yeast, malt and sugar with a few vapors of alcohol as well. The flavor is nice with yeast, malt, candi sugar, and banana all well represented. A bit fizzy on the palate. The alcohol is noticeable, but is not a distraction. Good one.

Aug 4, 2008 someone left this in my fridge... methinks it was the bockyhorseys... pours a hazy orange/brown iced tea color with an aggressive white head. the aroma is quite sweet... sugary golden raisins, very ripe pears, floral, spicy, yeasty and some alcohol burn. painfully sweet palate... arrrgh! lots of floral apple blossoms, orange and ripe pears without their skin. spicy-ish finish that never dries out. medium to full body from the residuals. too sweet without a whole lot of complexity and rather difficult to finish the second glass.

Jul 27, 2008 bottle. slightly hazy golden with white fluffy head. nice spicy, fruity aroma. i had high hopes until i took a taste. cloyingly sweet. couldn’t make it through more than a few sips. there are some good belgian flavors (pear) in there but the palate is so weighed down by residual sugars that it is undrinkable. it hurt to pour out a full 750 ml bottle, but i gave it several attempts to redeem itself. drinking the whole thing would have made me sick.

Jun 14, 2008 750ml bottle-pours rich retaining off white head and gold color. Aroma is medium/light malt-husky, caramel, hay/floral/earthy, light fruit-apricot. Taste follows with some sweetness but the medicinal/metallic/herbal/pepper overpower and detract from a nice nose. OK carbonation. Occasional. 3.0 OK at cellar temperature, mellows nicely. The medicinal disappears and the metallic and herbal aren’t dominant. The sweet malt comes out a bit more as does a bit of alcohol. Occasional.
