Mar 12, 2007 Draft. Sampled at UPenn’s beer tasting ’07. Pours a deep copper color with a small white head. Aroma was very malty, sweet and slighly floral. Flavor sugary/fruity sweet with a big dose of malt, some yeast, spicy and a bit of bittering hops. I found the alcohol to be a little hot but not over-powering.

Feb 22, 2007 Poured a copper color with small head and good lacing. Aroma was of spices and floral and fruits. Flavor was of candied sugar and dark fruits, hops were to keep the sweetness from running away.

Feb 19, 2007 Updated: Feb 20, 2007Poured a copper color with a nice off-white head, decent retention with good lacing. The aroma was floral (lavendar type smell), fruity esters (lighter fruits, less of the dark fruits) over a spicey base, very hard to determine (primarily yeasty components, anise maybe also in there?). The flavor was nice, deceptively drinkable, very crisp for a beer this strong or anything belgian, excellent bitter hop balance at the end of each sip, again very drinkable. Featured flavors were grapes and other light fruits, some light caramel, gentle peppery spicing, a touch of coriander/cloviness, a lot going on, including an apparent rye/wheat accent to further dry this out and add some twang? A smooth beer, even if this isn’t the prototypical take on a Quad... in that case it’s an excellent Belgian Strong Saison. Nice job, Ric!
