"Beer smoke smells like apples. Copper body with mild haze, small off white crown with ok retention. Ok looking beer but nothing special for the style. Apple cinnamon aroma that comes across sweet reminds me of hot apple cider but not really. Flavor seems sharp but watered down, that makes no sense. This has all the elements of a good Belgian, wheat, yeast, spice, citrus, some alcohol but it just doesn’t add up correctly. Didn’t taste bad just maybe a touch mild and no wow factor to it. "

"First off, one of my least favourite styles so we will see how this goes.
Poured out a nice thick white head of less than average size, very nice slippery lacing, the beer itself is a hazy orange that is on the darker side. Warm orangy, spicy yeast, weak banana, slightly musty. The taste is musty with lots of yeast that is not over the top in the spice category but still keeps my taste buds awake. A bit weak on the flavour but I like that - this is one of the easiest drinking Belgian Strongs that I've had. Quite fruity with citrus out front, typical musty yeast spice. Medium to medium full bodied. Great carbonation, good after taste of sweet malts, muted spices and some fruit that tilts towards citrus. Nice beer, got one in the cellar for another day."

[4] Review by changeup45 from Orlando, Florida, USA who has tried this beer once. (7/29/2008 9:59:22 PM)
"I was happy to find this one on a road trip but it ended up being a bit of a disappointment. Pours a clear, bright orange color with a thin white head. Aroma is a bit stingy with oranges, perfume and an assortment of spices. The mouthfeel on this is very tart, tangy and slightly dry. The strongest flavors are oranges and coriander, with lots of spices (ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg), some lemon, and light fragrant hopping thrown in there. Interesting but the flavors just don't work for me. Halfway through the bomber I was sick of it. Not an awful beer but it is the worst Stone product I have had so far. Maybe I should have waited until "sometime after December 12th, 2012." "

"I wish I could drink this one again.... I have gotten into beers spiced this way and would love to re-visit it. almost a clear orange color when poured with a nice white head. Carbonation was as bit stingy on the tip of the tounge. Flavor was great... Sweat and spiced..I could pick upon the cardamon"
