| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 17, 2005 Fruity aroma with a sweet malt. The appearance is a golden orange and it pours a decent head. Flavor is fruity with a mango and orange presence. Plenty of spice also. Medium malt character. Aftertaste is bitter with plenty of alcohol but on the dry side.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Aug 15, 2005 Murky orange brown, large fizzy off white head. Intense spicy notes, plus astringent cranberry aromatics. Funky esters combine with allspice and cranberry peel. Astringency most noteable in the finish with is rather dry. Mouthfeel is smooth and medium, not was I was expecting for the ADV. Silphium (2137), Haslett, Michigan, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 15, 2005 Cloudy apple cider body, medium buff head. Spicy aroma (pepper? clove?), with apple skin, tropical fruit (pineapple especially), and white grapes. The aroma screamed "Tripel." Rather bitter spicy body with white grape, pineapple, bread/crackers, and apple, obviously consistent with the aroma. Medium-bodied with moderate alcohol presence and a crisp, bitter, spicy aftertaste. A solid offering from Unibroue if a bit spice-dominated for my tastes. stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA
