Sep 9, 2007 Bottle... Poured a clear orange with a great-white head that slowly dissipated to nothing. Sweet, orange and coriander on the nose. The beer contained a mild carbonation and fizzyness on the palate. Had flavors of sweet brown sugary malt, coriandor, citrus fruits, hops, and peppery spices. Finished with a meaty hoppy presence.

Sep 9, 2007 Golden-orange beer with a little white head. Weird spicy nose, not as spices or herbs, but as some washing liquid, lavender, dry lemons. Oppressive spicy taste, alcohol not helping, jumble of fusels, ending dry as an afterthought. Alcohol diminishes the body, which is seriously impressive. Not my idea of a great beer. And as to those classic Belgian influences , now there’s a load of b******s.

Sep 9, 2007 Bottle@LCRBM. Jasmin and ginger aroma. Dark yellow color, off-white head, fair lace. Sweet, very spicy, dusty and sticky. Not bad but really tastes and feels like an experimental brew. If you’d ask me I’d say they didn’t quite have a succes with this experiment.

Sep 5, 2007 Clear amber pour with a decent sized head. Nice spice springs from the aroma with a hint of fruit. Sweet taste. Kind of overpowering at first. You can sense the alcohol, with the spice finishing it off. A decent Belgian.

Sep 4, 2007 Clear amber body that looks like nothing so much as a glass of apple juice with head. The aroma is sweet fruit with definte spice. The flavor is in one word, wrong. Very medicinal. The individual components do not sum to good with this one. I think that there is too much going on for its own good. It makes it all just taste blehh. The citrus peel components come through more and more as I drink it and it only gets slightly better. Very sub-par.
