Oct 31, 2007 Hazy golden yellow apple juice colored liquid with a nice head. Nose is strong of esters and yeast. Taste is citric and nice crisp happy flavors. Mouthfeel is fluid and a little crisp. Finish is very similar to a very nice apple cider type drink, only much better. great brew.

Oct 30, 2007 0.65 l bottle. Amber color with small head. Sweetish aroma with notes of cardamon, clove, pepper, ginger and orange. Sweet honeyish and gingery flavor with clove, pepper and orange. Dryer finish with woody spices. The spiciness is a bit too overpowering.

Oct 29, 2007 Second bottle of this, consumed several months after release. Pours cloudy and with a big spiced nose, almost like one of these imperial wits everyone’s trying to do these days. It’s a handsome beer, with a nice gold-to-orange complexion and a swirling yeast cloudiness. I’m not as sold on the taste. Not only has the brew not calmed down quite enough (some serious heat still in there), its flavors - anise, lots of citrus, and definitely the advertised ginger - seem to have become a bit more muddled. A provocative experiment, and still a pleasant drink, but not an unqualified success.

Oct 29, 2007 Real nice Belgian Ale. Aroma of orange and cardamom. Fruity and spicy complexity. So many flavors that it is tough to distinguish them all. Really full bodied and laced with a nice amount of alcohol. I like.

Oct 28, 2007 This was a little on the dry side for being a triple. I think its because of the part saison. Some mild fruits and citrus all around. Interesting to see what itll be like in 5 years :)

Oct 27, 2007 Cloves, cardamom, ginger and floral aroma; sweet and spicy, simple malt profile; somewhat yeasty and perfumey; tart, acidic finish. Don’t care for it much.

Oct 26, 2007 22 ounce bottle from cdog69
Pours a golden apricot with some with a thick but diminishing snow white head.
The ginger is really strong here. As far as I’m concerned there’s nothing else.
The flavor is awfly heavy on the giner as well. There’s a bit of citrus, and some sugary sweetness. It really seems to just help the ginger along. A sturdy bitterness and a long finish.
We are a little bit fuller bodied here. I enjoy that. Pleasant carbonation.
I feel like there’s way to much ginger here. This is not something I could dring again.
