Commercial Description:
A supercharged Belgian-style beer brewed for our tenth anniversary, this golden ale has an alcoholic warmth and spicy fruit character, reminiscent of a fine Loire-valley Vouvray wine.

Oct. 2005 rating - Poured golden color with smallish head...probably due to the high alcohol content of the beer. The smell was alcohol, the taste was alcohol. Okay, sure, there were other spices and fruits and candy sugar and all that belgiany stuff, but the alcohol in this beer was not masked well at all.

"Poured a hazy golden color with a thing head. Aroma was citrus and of spices. Could taste candy sugar, and citrus fruits. Could taste the alcohol a little to much. Okay beer, nothing great"

Tannin-full, orange, fruity and floral aroma. Hazy orange-tan coloured body is topped by a decent, fine bubbled, white head that recedes to partial cover with nice lacing. Fruity, leafy and moderately bitter flavour with some alcohol apparent. Light pointy carbonation to the medium body with some alcohol warming. Sampled at Kennett Square Brewfest 2005.

I guess i am the dissenting vote on this one from the people that had it at Kennet, i found the aroma to be pretty weak, a little flowery and slightly fruity, but no spices and no malts made their way through to me. The body was very nice looking, a nice gold with a fizzy white head. the flavors were not well balanced with lots of fruit tones but again, not the kind of think i was expecting from this style. I also thought there were some undercarbonation issues with it. the aftertaste was harsh and medicinal, finishing off a very disappointing beer for me.

Aroma is light fruits, candi sugar, slight spice, and melon. Flavor is cotton candy, musk melon, pear, and watermelon. Very sweet but finishes a much drier leaving you ready for another sip. Very nice.
