| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 23, 2003 Color sort of matches the bottle, brownish gold. Little head at all. Aroma wasn't as aromatic as many Belgiums that I've had. Flavor was yeasty, slightly sweet, and spicy(pepper). Finish is fairly dry. Overall it was a decent beer, but when Victory says Grand Cru, I expected more. mrkimchee (1414), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 19, 2003 2003 Vintage - Slightly hazy orange color. Foamy off-white head. Sweet peach and citrusy hop aroma. The flavor has a little bit of sweetness, some tart apple flavors and nice hop presence. Body is medium-full and the beer finishes very crisp and medium dry. Flavors do not linger for very long. The primary aftertaste is citrus hops. This one should age well. Dickinsonbeer (3496), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
