Dec 2, 2009 Hazy goldish color. White head. Yeast, overripe fruit, old wood aroma. Flavor is yeast, oxidized apples, honey, rotten wood. Hmmm, nope.

Oct 27, 2009 Pours a murky copper brown with a medium whitish head. Aroma is of light fruits with alcoholic notes and cream. Fruity, hoppy flavor with a garbage dumpster flavor lurking within that throws it off. Thin, watery mouthfeel. Overall, fair. The fact that this is called a Grand Cru in some markets is as laughable as it is absurd.

Oct 20, 2009 Bottled (as St. Sebastiaan Grand Cru, by Sterkens), thanks oh6gdx! Hazy golden, almost no head. Fruity nose with orange and brie cheese. Mid-sweet with medium body. Lightly fruity with a touch of alcohol, notes of orange and vanilla. Low bitterness. Both pleasant and interesting.

Sep 25, 2009 Everything to be expected from the type of ale, but not enough complexity to merit special mention. Yeasty with a little orange peel hint, but the sweetness is the dominant reaction. Not quite as bad as a Kronenbourg Blanc, but should have been better.

Jul 29, 2009 My first $20 beer!
Bought and enjoyed after a long day of hiking in Cortina, Italy - I figured I deserved the best beer in the store.
Well, light orange with a medium head and a very intriguing aroma that was sweet, floral yet still with the presence of alcohol.
Taste was a bit sweeter than I would have liked, but it wasn’t cloying and quickly disappeared, and the finish was nice and dry.
Still, I felt kind of ripped off - the "clay bottle" was ultimately meaningless, and Unibroue makes better beer at a fraction of the cost.
