3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Clear fizzy golden body with a huge white head. Spicy malty aroma with cereal, caramel and fruits. Very nice fully carbonated palate. A great dry spicy and sweet taste
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Got a bottle from Gilmore Wines and Spirits with a Feb 2012 expiry date. nicely stored in the ref. Appearance: Translucent, orange ,brown with thick tan head. Smell: molasses syrup, candied sugar and honey. Taste: Sweet Toffee, fig, biscuit, caramel and a bit sour like German wheat beer. Mouthfeel: Rich, medium-bodied, smooth and well-carbonated. Drinkability: Good beer. More affordable compared to the other Trappist beers. Very good beer to pair with Cajun food.

A good trappist, but completely nonsurprising. There are better ones available.
4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Ar: rosy alcohol with peppery spice, plus orange peel and ripe peaches.
Ap: Cloudy gold with a billowing white head with great retention that leaves a wall of lacing - streaming cascades of small bubbles run up the glass.
T: Tart orange with a clean maltiness and ripe melons, slight peachy note - some moderate rosy alcohol mixes with citrus mid-palate - peppery finish with a medium bitterness.
P: Full creamy high carbonation - fills the palate and finishes extremely dry and tingly.
O: Disclaimer: This is one of my top 5 Belgian beers - I could drink this beer every day, and I very will might do so if I had the access and the $ - it has the complexity, in terms of ester, spice, and alcohol profile, of the best triples - yet, at the same time, it is exceptionally (and dangerously) quaffable and dry in the spirit of great saisons.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle, 33 cl. Blonde hazy beer with big white foamy head. Aroma of hops, fruits and some malts. Taste is malty and light sweet at first, with a fruity background and some spicy notes, and becomes more hoppy further on and ends with a light bitter dry finish. Very nice and well balanced beer, the least known Trappist, but certainly worth to discover it!
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Förväntningar är till för att infrias, inte sant? Trappistöl vet hur man gör det, och det som alltid med besked. Achel är en ny bekantskap men det tar inte mer än en klunk innan vi står på god fot med varandra. En vän att lita på, i framför allt vått och mer sällan i torrt.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Hazy orange color, pleasant aroma. Sweet hoppy beginning, medium to light middle taste, and slight sour/bitter finish. Well balanced, good CO2 mix, the 8% abv is not in your face. Hides the alcohol well, good smooth brew.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Ausgeprägt fruchtiger und angenehmer Geruch. Vorab: die 8% schmeckt man an keiner Stelle heraus. Die erwähnte Fruchtigkeit nimmt auch im Geschmack den größten Teil ein und erfreut mit einem leichten Marzipanaroma den Gaumen. Im Nachgeschmack kommen auch leichte malzige Aromen dazu, die allerdings keine allzu große Rolle spielen. Das Bier ist von vorne bis hinten harmonisch und sehr gelungen.
