Taste is sour, oaky, vanilla and hazelnut. Yeasty with some good clove and nutmeg spicing, complimenting the traditional Belgian coriander and orange elements. Thanks to CaptainCougar for this! 1FastSTi (2560), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 2, 2005 Bottle, thanks joet. Cloudy pale orange appearance. Belgian character is there, but perhaps a slightly more neutral yeast strain has been used. Even so i really like this beer. Nice savoury palate. Some yeasty estery fruit, banana, orange and lemon. Bready malts. Some subtle leafy spicyness. Finishes off dry, with a nice acidity which gives it some length.
