look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
A: Golden yellow with a big white head that stays around for quite a while.

S: Wheat, malts, some hay, yeast, spices, bubblegum. Some alcohol. Not a very powerful smell.

T: Sweet malts, some caramel, spices, perhaps some honey, faint grassy hops, plenty of yeast and a sweet taste of bubblegum. The finish is quite short with a minimal bitterness to it, faint mineral notes and some hops. Not very powerful. Interesting rather than good. The sweetish alcohol is very noticeable.

M: Medium body, plenty of carbonation. The texture is quite sticky which becomes irritating after a while.

D: At some levels, this one's rather interesting, but it doesn't taste that great. The sweet candy-like taste of bubblegum I noticed and the rather prominent note of alcohol became disturbing after a while.

Rating from notes, 2012: 750ml bottle picked up at Cora-Forsbach. Pours out a light amber color, thick, creamy head, chunky lacing. Aroma brings forth Belgian yeast, pit fruit, some light pastry sweetness. Taste is more of the sweetness up front, light brandy notes, rich, deep malt character, some of the alcohol making itself apparent. Taste lingers for a bit, with a bit more of the alcohol heat warming the gullet. Really solid. Makes me miss my monthly trips to Cora.

Clear golden color with a lot of sparkling bubbles seaking the sky. Three finger high, white, foamy head that leaves lacing on the glass.

Nose: belgian ale, yeast, honey, sugar, green apples, pears, lemon and a bit of orange.

Taste: Complex taste of marzipan, citrus, lemon curd, orange, sweet caramel malt, pears and banana.

Medium body with high carbonation, almoust like Champagne. Soft texture. Feels luxury and classic! I like this!

Pours a beautiful good. Nice big pillowy head, snow white. Sticky, thick lacings last throughout. Lively carbonation.

Big yeasty aroma. Honey and strong light fruits (apple, pear). Bit of an alcohol punch.

Big taste too. Very yeasty with some nice minerally compliments. Sweet, sticky fruit. Surprising continental hop presence coupled with some welcome barnyard flavors.

Not particularly drinkable, but by no means unpleasant. Only points deducted are based on style really. This could easily pass as a Pale Ale, but lacks the clean drinkability of a bier de garde.
