25cl bottle from the supermarket at Brüssel airport. Pours almost clear pale golden with a white head. Fruity aroma with notes of pears, malt, yeast and hints of spices and honey. Medium sweet with fruity flavours and a fairly light bitterness. Easy to drink and quite refreshing. Alcohol is well integrated. Quite refreshin, but not too exiting

Darker yellow, small lacing foam head. Some hoppy aroma, little sweet taste. Drinking this bit too warm (no fridge) and alcohol is dominating, but still nice beer. (Rouen 201507)

Single big brown bottle with cork and cage from the SAQ. Written 7.5% ABV. on the bottle's painted label. Pours a cloudy golden colour with a frothy white head that has good retention and not much lacing, but a thick coat tops the brew and seems to stay. The hop and alcohol combined gives out this plastic aroma, but blended with some citrus notes (oranges, lemon) and Belgian Ale yeast. The taste is pretty similar, but very watery with not much of a finish (but a nice lack of the plastic). Thankfully, a little hop does come out eventually. Still, was expecting a better beer.

Aromas are rather faint some bubblegum, along with some floral note, also a metallic presence. Clear yellow body, with a thin ringed head. The mouthfeel is crisp. flavor is kinda like a lager, a long grassy finish.

To say I wasn't impressed with this beer would be an understatement. If fact, I don't recall the last time I gave a Belgian strong a lower score than a 3. Aroma is decidedly sweet with an almost buttery effect. Light honey and apples too, but I swear I can smell buttered bread. Spicy-orange-peel like flavor, old honey and alcohol come up in the flavor dept. I'm guessing the honey is candi sugar that's just gotten old and past it's prime. I'm wondering what this would be like after 6-months post bottling.

Tasted on tap at the Celebrator Anniversary Party on 2/20/2011. This Belgian Strong Ale pours a hazy straw gold color from the tap. Medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity, yeasty and sweet. A medium bodied Belgian Strong Ale. The malts are fruity and sweet, with a touch of apricot. The hops are herbal and spicy. Lively carbonation. Yeasty and bright. Clean and crisp. Light and refreshing. A easy drinking Belgian Strong, there is a touch of dryness at the finish that help balance the sweetness and yeastiness. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean, smooth and dry. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
