| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 25, 2007 Deep amber coloured body, full of haze, with a large slightly off-white head. Aroma of wheat, yeast, coriander seed and a tiny bit of low a.a. hops. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong yeastie flavour with some wheat and corn noticeable. Aftertaste shows a bit of sweetness - some bananas and some light fruitiness definitely showing. Overall, a good beer - a mix between a very strong wit and a tripel, with it teetering toward the latter. I sampled this 75 cL bottle purchased from Chevy Chase Wine & Spirits in Washington, D.C. on 25-December-2007. VTHopHead (928), Barre, Vermont, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 24, 2007 750ml - Poured a hazy caramel brown in color with a very large light tan head. Nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is big with malty sweetness, some citrus and faint coriander. Flavor is malty, but not quite as sweet as I expected. Lots of caramel and brown sugar. Some spice and a light yeasty sourness to keep it from being too syrupy sweet. Citrus and spices linger in the finish. Another great beer from the folks nord of the border... jalichio999 (502), Brazil

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 22, 2007 Large head on a murky orange pour. This is a Duvel-like Belgian, a golden ale. These are not my favorite and although I recognize that this is a complex beer, it just really is not to my liking. I liked the 15 much better. GriffinAvenue (396), Winchester, Massachusetts, USA
