| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 5/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 5/20 | Aug 6, 2008 Bottled at home. Orange coloured, thick lasting white head, beautiful. Very spicy nose, some hops but not much. Extremely spicy flavour, some yeast, caramel, cloying. Very bitter flavour. Overly spiced cloyingly bitter beer, absolutely not my thing. But it does look nice. harrisoni (6828), Ashford, Kent, England

Some yeast, it’s ok, it’s got some hop, good hop sting on the end. Some earthiness. Hops are good, but too earthy. BoBoChamp (1382), Gent, Belgium
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 28, 2008 33cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex brew, cloudy, small head, good hoppy brew austone (1039), Turku; Pori, Finland
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 20, 2008 Bottle. Flakey golden, thick white head. Alcoholic, delicate fruity aroma, not that much hops. Reminds me of La Chouffe. Flavor is much in the same vein; fruits, stronger hops, sweet malts, yeast, clean grapefruit bitterness. Nothing extreme, nor too exciting. Medium to full bodied, smooth strongly carbonated palate. TBone (6801), Pori, Finland

Hazy orange color, huge brown-yellow head. Fruits, hops and smoked ham (!) in the nose. Crisp citrusy and fruity hoppy flavor. Alcohol is quite present. Some cream cracker breadyness and odd yeasty flavors. Someway I can imagine smokey notes also in the flavor. Strange, not easily rateable IPA. bierkoning (6066), La Tropica, Netherlands
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jul 11, 2008 Bottle. Blonde, very cloudy. Pours and enormous frothy head. Vanilla, citrus and flowery hops in the aroma. Vanilla yeasty flavor with warming alcohol, traubenzucker and citrus. The very first signs of an infection? Maybe. Yeasty aftertaste, mint. In spite of its flaws, I like this beer. ekstedt (2440), Göteborg, Sweden
