Jun 24, 2009 Golden-amber color. Deep malty, caramelly molasses aroma with fruity, estery notes. Apple, pear and grape flavors. Some yeast sediment accidentally poured, so some yeasty notes present but probably not supposed to be there. It’s good. I’m still not used to the Belgian farmhouse style ales, but it’s good.

Rather sweet, a bit yeasty, full malty palate. Dried fruit, dark sugar. Sweetish aftertaste.

Jun 11, 2009 "Beer smoke smells like apples. Copper body with mild haze, small off white crown with ok retention. Ok looking beer but nothing special for the style. Apple cinnamon aroma that comes across sweet reminds me of hot apple cider but not really. Flavor seems sharp but watered down, that makes no sense. This has all the elements of a good Belgian, wheat, yeast, spice, citrus, some alcohol but it just doesn’t add up correctly. Didn’t taste bad just maybe a touch mild and no wow factor to it. "

Jun 7, 2009 bomber from a trade a long time ago with Saarlander, thanks Aaron. popped this open to drink while smoking some ribs on the Weber this afternoon. pours a honey gold with a smallish, but decent white head. aroma was slightly musty with some lemon and orange. first thought that came to mind with the flavor was peach. I like peach! this is not terribly complex, yet I picked up on hints of sour mustiness, peach, lemon peel and possibly some spicy orange peel. Belgian ales are not my favorite style, but I found this to be a slightly warming, enjoyable Sunday afternoon brew.

May 21, 2009 Bottle. Pours a golden orange body with on off white head. Sweet hop juice with citrus and bubble gum with a subdued spiciness and ginger and some lemon. A bit bread y and then a malty spiced alcohol warming. Not bad.

May 4, 2009 I agree with Yobdoog; a bit overdone. I thought the spices dominated the flavor back in July 07 when I first tried this. I sampled a bottle from my cellar yesterday and the nearly two years of aging doesn’t seem to have added much: still overpowering spice flavors.

Apr 13, 2009 I was walking down the street with my friend and he said, "I hear music", as if there is any other way you can take it in. You’re not special, that’s how I receive it too. I tried to taste it but it did not work.

Apr 7, 2009 A little unbalanced with it being sweet and spicy. It almost pulls it off but there is just something missing. Overall it is a good beer but it could be slightly better.
