Commercial Description:
Sensual splendor in the form of a Belgian inspired ale of vast appeal. Wonderfully aromatic in its seduction of the senses. So simple in its creation, so magnificent in its maturity, this wonderful ale begins with Nature’s most humble offerings, water, malted grains and hops. Our soulful yeast breathes life and depth into each brew. The steady hand of time orchestrates this alchemy into the splendid ale before you.

Poured a medium amber. This beer did not live up to my expectations -- it is "simple" as the commercial description states -- a one-dimensional beer with only a floral finish worth noting.

Sweet aroma, with promises of high abv. Fruity (oranges and pineapple). First pour has a huge head. Second is smaller, but lasting. Off-white head. Body is orangish, redish, with yellow hue on the edges. Tons of visible carbonation which translates to a highly carbonated and zingy mouthfeel. Very sweet. Has Belgian qualities. Similar to Delirium Tremens. This may be a tough style to make and Victory does a pretty good job. This brew was made in May 2003, so it aged a lilttle over a year. It may have needed a little more seasoning. Alcohol hides some of its unrefinedness.

Has a light orange appearance with a large white head. Has a flowery smell that is a little artificial. Has a nice sipcy flavor with banana cloves.

Huge frothy medium head, fizzy carbonation, nice dark orange color with hints of red. Leaving brussels laces on the glass. Apple nose with malt undertones. Nice light hops and grape taste, in between a bitter kick on the roof of the tongue. Vanilla and slightly malt, harsh and edgy mouthfeel in between. But also light passionfruit and honey taste. Peppery finish.

Doughy nose, some dust. Huge tall fluffy sticky head. Deep hazy amber color. Heavy sweet malt with fruity and honey tones. Spiced end - some pepper. Slight cardboard effect in the aftertaste. Thick and creamy. Big alcohol feel in the throat.

Amber/orange in color with a large white head. Aroma or yeast, malt and orange. Taste is malty sweet with hints of orange and a touch of hops for balance.

Brilliant Orange, with a sturdy white head. Malty, bready aroma. Spicy and sweet, with a little bit of a vanilla flavor. Some bitterness and dusty, earthy flavor. Finishes ever so slightly sour, in a good way.
