22 oz bottle. Pours a hazy dark gold body with a small fizzy off-white head that faded rather quickly. The nose is quite sweet with a really noticeable sugary note. Some spices, yeast, and bready pale malts, very perfumy smelling overall. The flavor is just an all out sugar bomb, this must be all the beet sugar. Some bready malt, hay, and light floral spices. Noticable alcohol on the finish. Fairly thick and sticky with tons of residual sugars. Slight alcohol burn on the finish. Moderate fizzy carbonation. I really didn’t care for this one all that much, just way too sweet and simple.

Dec 6, 2009 Bottle sampled on 6/28/08: Pours a transparent golden yellow with a wispy lacing white head. Aroma of phenolic sweet biscuity Belgian malts and a touch of ginger and coriander. Body starts effervescent and lightly floral with some candy sweetness and a touch of lemon citrus before a drier warming finish. An ok Belgian strong, but needs some time to mellow.

Nov 12, 2009 In short: A gross sweet buttery beer. Bad bad bad.
How: Bottle 22oz. Received as a bonus in a trade I think. Consumed when a few months of age
The look: Cloudy dark yellow topped by a very small white head
In long: Repulsive nose of buttery popcorn and honey. Taste is blends a lot of honey, DMS, apricots, cabbage, buttery popcorn, alcohol, boiled vegetables. How’s that for a description? Bad bottle or bad beer? I don’t care, I don’t want to drink this ever again. That beer had more problem than a advanced post-graduate math book.

Nov 2, 2009 pours out clear golden yellow with a thin off white head that is bubbly with slight lacing and a fast rate of descent of the head that became really thin. the body is clear semi dark oarnge that allows light to pass through rather easily. the aroma are a definate toffee and sweet caramel malt and sugar. there is also the obvious candi sugar and some tangerines and oarnges scent coming through very prominatly also. the mouth feel is surprisingly very soft and sutel with moderate carbonation and is medium to almost a full bodied. the taste is partially bitter in the front but is dominatly sweet all around with caramel, clove, banana, and wheat bread being the main focus of the flavors. it finishes full and does not leave an overpowering aftertaste and is very plesent to drink.

Sep 21, 2009 Bottle. Golden pour with white head. Label looks better than beer tastes. Sweet aroma form all that sugar, some Belgian yeasts. Mediocre at best Belgian ale. Flavor is fruits, sweetness, banana, and spices.

Sep 3, 2009 22 oz bottle courtesy of an extra from TheEpeeist. Thanks as always, Chris. Pours a hazy gold, a bit glowing, with a carbonation bubbly soapy head, small, stays at a film overall, minimal lacing. Aromas are lightly sweet with a touch of banana runt candies, grapes, apples, with faint spice, a good sweetness builds with some candy sugar behind it and some citrus fruits and pear. Initial is light bodied, putting a bit heavy sweetness into play, with graininess coupling, light bittering, some sweeter fruits without the bitterness and liht spice. That strange sweetness, both in smell and taste must be the Beet Sugar they mention. I’m gonna be honest.. it is weird. The beer is dry, bitter towards the backend but still has a good sweetness, preaching fruits, grains, and candy sugar.. but with a different touch. Long dry and bitter finish, almost astringent for the lighter body and more complex flavors this beer should preach. Overall, an OK Belgian but doesn’t offer as much as it should at this ABV.
