330 mL bottle. Poured cloudy gold with fizzy bone white head. Floral aroma. Citrusy, spicy, and dry with notes of orange, coriander, lemon. These Achel monks make a damn fine beer.

Jul 19, 2008 Pours pale golden with a thick, sticky, pure white head. Basic pilsner malt, yeast character, grass hops, and a bit of a lemon character. Lemon in the flavor at well. Just sort of light and spicy. Medium body, and highly carbonated. Dry finish. Pretty good.

Jul 18, 2008 Poured a cloudy golden-orange with a nice, long lasting fluffy head leaving great lacing. When I cracked open the bottle, the beer just came rushing out, and I had to save it with a quick scoop of the glass. Aroma reminded me of apricots and caramel. Taste was sweet with a sharp bitterness that hit the back of the throat...but that wasn’t a bad thing. Highly carbonated and refreshing. Rarely do I drink a Trappist beer and think I could have a few more, but this time I was jonesing!

Jul 15, 2008 33cl bottle from Kingdom Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a hazy, caramel golden with a thick and frothy white head that settles slowly. Good head retention and glass lacing. Aroma is heavily yeast and bread with hints of ripe fruit, barnyard funk, and fresh hay. Clearly visible particulates throughout. Flavor is strongly yeast and bread as well with notes of caramel, honey, and sour fruit. Medium body with a slightly sweet and malty finish. Interesting.
