A hazy orange beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet spicy with notes of citrus and coriander, and so is the flavor, though in the flavor light notes of hops mixes in.

341 mL bottle bought more than 1 yr ago at Loblaws in Lasalle. Hazy light golden with light white head. Light aroma of coriander and lemon. Very smooth fresh taste, with wheat and malt, notes of grapefruits, coriander and aniseed. Slight sour notes. Considering the age, this beer is good and as aging potential.

Bottled. Hazy golden. Full bodied with lively soft mouthfeel. Lots of malt, notes of almond, yeast and grass. Rich, flavourful and well balanced.

Clear gold, good carbonation to yellow head, slightly irregular, leaving lace. Nose comes with boatloads of coriander, faint citrus and fleeting alcohol, but it’s the soupy corianderpowder that overpowers everything in sight. Taste exists of coriander, coriander, coriander, and maybe a touch of sage. Covering diacetyl, I seem to detect. Sweetish taste, buttery impression... Slick, soupy mouthfeel - the coriander. Bit of alcoholburn. OOOOOOuuch!! Give me the original anytime. Spices to cover the emperors’ nakedness.

Doesn’t quite live up to the original, but still is pretty good. A cloudy yellow color gives off a bouquet of oranges, coriander, baking soda. The firm medium body is mildly yeasty, orangey and hints of hot cross buns, ending in a dry orange finish

Golden color beer witha nice head when pourred into glass. Aroma of spice are really present and very tasteful. The alcohol is well hidden and overall this is another very refreshing beer from Cheval Blanc Re-rate 2008- Slightly hazy with good mix of spices. Well done and something like to drink from time to time.

A fairly good rendition of the Chouffe theme - maltier and less yeasty than the main brew from Belgium, but similar is fruitiness and hoppiness. Perhaps finishing a bit sweeter (a function of reduced yeastiness and lowered alcohol perception (it's still 8%) Finally a civilized tap handle in Toronto!
