[1] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (9/12/2008 10:00:27 AM)
"Bottle: Poured a clear golden color ale with a medium size foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma consists of sweet Belgian style malt with some fuse alcohol also noticeable. Taste is also somewhat one-dimensional with some discernable alcohol and some overly sweet Belgian style malt. I thought it was lacing some ester or some yeast character too be truly engaging. Not bad but not something I would go out of my way to try again."

[2] Review by jlozier from Lone Pine, CA, USA who has tried this beer once. (7/22/2008 3:00:26 PM)
"Came in a very cool clay-looking flip-top bottle. Light, but very cloudy orange color with the whitest white head. Tastes rather sweet, light fruits and candi sugar, apricots, and coriander. clean and dry finish, which is nice considering the sweetness. soft and full mouthfeel due to the tiny carbonation. A great beer to imbibe on summer vacation in Maine."

[4] Review by beercronic from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada who has tried this beer once. (7/31/2006 11:39:36 PM)
"Murky, mucky orange liquid, a big bubbly white cap and massive bacon bit sized chunks swimming around. The solar system of sediment leveled off 1 inch from the bottom by the time I neared the end of the glass. Aroma was really complex and prominent. Fresh and sweet with zippy spice, hops, lots of yeast and warm cooked meat?? You can also pick up the alcohol content too. Taste was very solid with cloves and a spicy background and an orange flavour that had tartness that I definetly noticed. Mouthfeel was velvetly smooth, medium bodied and a touch of alcohol on the back of my tongue that had a vodka quality to it. The alcoholic burn caught up to me and stayed deep in my chest. There was also a late butterscotch aftertaste (very mild). Then get your spork and consume the chunky meal at the bottom of the glass. Excellent beer."

[5] Review by beercronicshero from Edmonton, Canada who has tried this beer once. (6/15/2006 10:28:55 AM)
"thanks to beercronic...
pours a nice orange Hue, little white bubbly head, quite cloudy with alot of floaties. slight orangeish-yellowish around the edge of the glass. the aroma was sweet, with a nice apricot smell, hints of caramel and a nice smelling spice. the taste on this brew was different with each mouthfull. first one made my mouth water a little, good hops. the second one i tasted butterscotch, third there was a serious kick of spices that appeared. it ended up with a nice warming effect... highly enjoyable brew!! :)"
