Fred82 (344), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Feb 7, 2009 750ml bottle, Pours golden orange with quite a bit of carbonation. Fruity and yeast aroma. Yeaste taste. Slight bitterness. Nice beer. Rating no 11. 070209 milljam (562), Norman, Oklahoma, USA Feb 7, 2009 Very fruity, like sweet peaches. Very carbonated, a little spiced. Alcohol pretty well hidden. My only problem was the carbonation. It was almost frothy, and I don’t really care for that. Otherwise, tasty. Birdiebeagle (778), Perkasie, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 2, 2009 Bottle Pours a golden orange with a fluffy white head which leaves a good lacing. Aroma is spicy yeast and fruits. Has a good mouthfeel and good carbination. Has a smooth taste well blended and not strong. A decent aftertaste. Overall a very good beer. hirigalzkar (550), Stockholm, Sweden Feb 1, 2009 Bottle. Dark golden color, semi hazy. Complex aroma of belgian yeast, spices, sweetnes and dry white wine. Elegant taste. Spices and honey with a hoppy bitterness in aftertaste. Well balanced and smooth (like all Unibroue brews seems to be), Brewkowski (6), Charlotte, North Carolina, USA does not count Jan 29, 2009 Since I have started drinking beer, out of everything I’ve had, this has by far become my favorite. So consistently good, I keep coming back to it. Poured from a 12 oz. brown bottle into a regular pint glass. Smells of yeast and fruit. Brilliant reddish-orange color with thick, frothy white head. The mouth feel is full, but alcohol is not dominant, if even noticeable, which is surprising for a beer with 9%. It tastes yeasty with hints of sweet fruits and a slight but brilliant bite from the hops to balance it out. Just indescribable. So much going on in this beer. Perfection in a glass. Jsawyer (282), Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 27, 2009 Bottled. Pours opaque honey with a foamy white head that quickly subsides and laces somewhat. Aroma is spicy yeast, banana-strawberry, hay, and slightly phenolic. Flavor is sweet yeast-clove, banana-strawberry and apple fruity, citric, slightly mandarin orange and woody. Due to multiple fermentations, which I have experimented with, the palate is a lighter and densely carbonated throughout giving a creamy feel but also a slight bite and lasting oily tingle atop the tongue. Not as good as a Golden Monkey. lithy (1600), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Jan 26, 2009 Slightly hazy golden honey color. Thin whitish cover. Aroma is very yeasty, spicy, bananas and cloves, biscuits. Taste is spicy again, yeasty breadiness, sweet with a nice light fruit note. NomDeBeer (398), Maryland, USA Jan 26, 2009 Hazy golden color with a huge, fluffy white head that lasts forever. Nice lacing too. Taste is sweet and spicy like bannanas, cloves, oranges, and maybe a touch of honey. Alcohol is well-hidden and the palate is smooth with lively carbonation. Very drinkable and enjoyable.
