| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 10, 2008 Great looking beer. It rivaled Duvel for foamy head, and had beautiful lacing. Head settles down to about a quarter inch that lasted throughout. Not quite as chunky as Duvel. Opaque, orangish yellow color.
Aroma was very Belgian. Yeasty, sugary, fruity.
Tasted much like liquid bubblegum, with some hints of orange and candy. Very well balanced.
Nice mouthfeel. Light carbonation. An excellent finish, leaving the mouth clean and wanting more.
This is an excellent beer. Well balanced, and each sip leaves you wanting more. A little strong to drink a lot of, but an excellent choice that I will buy again.

I tried this beer on December 21, 2007 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto. The beer poured a murkey golden brown with a generous white head. The aroma was a combinaion of malt and plums. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with high carbonation. The favour was spicy, malty, and slightly bitter. checkmatei1 (630), Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, USA

This beer poured a hazy dark yellow with a small amount of white head. The aroma is of apples, citrus, yeast and mustyness. The flavor is refreshing, hints of apples, bananas, cloves, and bread. Overall, one of the best beers I’ve had. wasaqc (1), Pierrefonds, Quebec, Canada does not count | 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jul 5, 2008 Appearance : blond (on lie)

You must have many of this beer in your reserve. You should let it get older at least 2 or 3 years for better resutls. crhensel (17), New Jersey, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Nov 22, 2009 (Bottle poured into Trappist glass) Poured a beautiful golden color with small creamy head that faded fast. Aroma provided a good deal of sweet notes, most notable a strong fruit and flowery hint. Full bodied, the drink was very smooth with a very average carbonation -- there was just enough here! Overall the flavor did not disappoint in the sweet department, but it was not overly sweet. A great compliment to the hearty stew I had it with! This is one to go back to over and over again! melearlin (1), California, USA does not count | 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 23, 2009 Lighter color, not clear. Light amber. Not very hoppy, nutty. Has the aftertaste I am looking for.
