| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 21, 2009 TAP: gold pour, no head. Coriander on the nose, same on taste, thin body. Tastes metallic. I’m hoping there was something wrong with this sample/pour, because this seemed like a pretty weak attempt at a dubbel. savnac (453), Palmer, Alaska, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 19, 2009 On tap @ Victory. Clear amber brown with an off white head. Sweet yeasty aroma, very earthy and a candy sugar sweetness. Mostly sweet flavor with some hop bitterness and some sourness too. Medium body with mild carbonation and an extremely smooth well balanced finish. mabel (2626), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Clear, golden orange body with a quick bubbly white head. More generic grainy malt in the flavour. Medium body. Doesn’t seem to be in wonderful shape.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 12, 2009 A decent offering from Victory. On tap at Coopers. Belgians are not my favorite but I like Victory so I really wanted to sample this one. Now that I did....I can forget about it just as quickly as I drank it. jerc (3954), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 5, 2009 2009-08-01. Dark orange amber body with a modest beige head. (3+) Aroma is surprisingly mild, touches of dry malt. (6+) Flavour is similar, pleasant dry malt, lightly alcoholic finish. Toasty malt touches. Modest malty base. Average plus palate. (3+) Enjoyably quaffable, but relatively mild and fails to wow in a crowd of much bolder beers. Still, I could seeing drinking a few of these in an evening quite happily. Seems like a cross between a dubbel and an abbey ale perhaps? On tap at BCTC 2009

Pouring at their booth at BCTC. Pours a clear light caramel color. Caramel and candy on the nose. Medium bodied and sweet, with a touch of grain before a light bitter finish.
