Rich and sprightly taste, aromatic balanced red amber color.

[2] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer once. (11/21/2007 8:19:42 PM)
"330ml bottle
Pours a hazed orange-amber ale with a massive sticky cap in the glass.
Aroma produces the most amazing mango-orange rind-spice pungency...some mustiness mingles with sweetness.
Light body,, slick mouth feel sweet orange and spice tastes are dominant...this is pleasant although distinctly synthetic and un-ale like....then the finish is over powered by alcohol and candi sweetness...fusil tastes dominate and warming starts quickly....poor at hiding the alcohol, cheap synthetic fruit flavor and the candi tastes...this isn’t my drink."

"Amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is apricot, plum and riped apples along with some slight alcoholic hints. Flavour is sour fruits and a lot of apricot. Alcohol gives a small warming feeling. Easy drink and hides the alcohol well. "

[4] Review by Skanadian from Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada who has tried this beer once. (4/24/2006 10:33:26 PM)
"This Belgian strong has a spicy aroma, as well as having the usual Belgian yeast. Its rather subdued, merely average. Looks alright, burnt orange-red body. Lots of little things floating around in there, its quite hazy. The head is off-white. There is a fair amount of it, and it likes to stick around. Laces well.
The spice from the aroma is present in the taste as well, and just as the aroma it seems to be subdued. Fairly malty, and perhaps some fruit in the taste as well, but its too passive to boast about anything. The mouthfeel is lacking, a bit watery and quite carbonated. It does leave a pleasent bitterness to it, not attacking the tongue but not being as subdued as the rest of the brew.
I don't know what it is, but this one seems to be holding back. It is certianly not bad, but there are many better Belgians out there. Merely average, but I can't dismiss it totally, so if its all thats around it will do in a pinch (but not in a bushel)."

[5] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (12/20/2005 12:52:04 PM)
"Bottle: Poured an orangey color ale with a big thick white foamy head with pretty good retention. Aroma of Belgian yeast and subtle spice are recognisable. Taste is also dominated by a good malt backbone with some typical Belgian yeast. Good for the style but not spectacular. "
