Pours murky, pale brown with a pillow-y head. Acidic aroma. Lively mouth feel. Flavour is very dry with loads of pine, wood and hops. Long, bitter finish. A unique beer.

Very pretty color, and thanks to the head it took me over a minute to pour. Not the best beer I have ever had but it was definitely unique and I enjoyed it. Belgian Ales are still new to me but I always appreciate them. Cloudy amber color. Complex aroma with candy and grapes in the nose. Malty, vinous, spicy flavor that stayed interesting throughout. At $4.50 a bottle I probably won't be trying this one often but it should be on everyone's list. I had a pleasant buzz at the end too.

Orange coloured very lively beer. Perfumy and very complex smell. Tastes of orange peels, and finishes bitter.

Re-rating, with improved score: Previously rated as tasting of olive jar water. Floral and citrusy hop aroma; Flavor also hoppy with a warming alcohol presence and funky orangey sweet maltiness. Uniquely hoppy for a Belgian ale. Finish is a bit sour and still reminds slightly of green olives.

4 year old bottle. Super nice horseblanket and broad grassy and long grassy lime hoppy tail. A hint berry, orangepeel, fresh, great. young bottle Lemongras and nutmeg aroma. Hazy orange-amber, sparkling champagne bubbles, huge off-white fluffy head. Orangepeel flavors dominate, grape acidity, nutmeg and a spicy dustiness which increases as more yeast is added. Exits on a spicy yeast note. The particular bottle I had seemed to be quite carbonated which resulted in a bit fizzy mouthfeel.
