"Ok, bought this 11.2 oz brown bottle beer at my local bottle shop for an affordable amount, $3.95, never saw it before. Slightly hazy pale yellow. Good visible sparkling carbonation appears within. Gunk on bottom promotes a hypnotizing swirling show in the glass towards the end of the bottle. Pretty large creamy head even with a gentle pour. Sweet aroma and not alarmingly volatile for a 10% beer. Starts off friendly then evolves to a more strong taste. Fairly strapping alky bite but it’s tempered with a goodly amount of welcomed carbonation on the palate. You’d never think this was 10%. Makes this beer pretty interesting and I don’t like to be bothered with higher alky beers. Goes down fairly easy and is much more agreeable than many of the tuffer beers I’ve tasted. The taste progression is first kind, then alky impact builds and finally it levels off to an agreeable friend. Finish is non-assuming and not appalling for such a strong brew. Impressed with this 10% brew. Perhaps it’s my state of mind today. S6L4T4F3012"

"A golden honey colored medium to full bodied ale that sneaks up on you. It is deceptively strong in the alcohol content. I had a difficult time detecting a strong aroma except for the strong scent of alcohol. Very warm all around and amde this aa strong beer of choice on a cold winter night. I tasted golden raisins, sugar and alcohol on the palate. Definitely worth seeking out and trying."

"Took ages to get the damn cork out, then i finally did, it spewed out all over my carpet and coffee table, drenching a harmless runner....Pours a sunrise dull orange...head is good, has healthy foam pool..Lacing is up to the task...Taste is alright, sweet and mellow, but maybe too mellow- seems to lack any assertiveness or true deep character!..could be very nice if more effervescent or i can see it being better on tap possibly?... all in all:
A nice easy beer that would be perfect for a novice or if you are in the mood for a small Belgian beer (that being said,the alcohol is quite well masked!)... good offering but.."seems a bit shallow and pedantic""

[4] Review by doulos31 from Middletown, DE, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/22/2008 10:13:03 PM)
"Pour was a dingy straw color with huge amount of suspended sediment, a huge head and decent lacing. The aroma was fruity like a trippel with some mild grassiness. The flavor smacked you upside the head with sweet fruit and honey, strong bold alcohol, enormous amounts of yeastiness, lots of peppery spices, some mild grassiness and a good bitter finish. Good level of carbonation. I really enjoyed this beer. Nice!"

[5] Review by Sigmund from Hafrsfjord, Norway who has tried this beer once. (12/4/2007 2:54:49 PM)
"Sampled bottle, RBNAG 2007 in Grimstad. ABV was 10%. Pale golden colour, fluffy white head. Surprisingly moderate aroma, slightly spicy. Fruity and spicy flavour, pleasant to drink, the ABV is well hidden, well balanced. "
