on tap at Duckworths (NC)
Pour is a bit light for the style. The clear amber body is covered by a bone head that has great retention
Mouthfeel: near medium body with appropriate, medium carbonation.
Taste and Aroma: Plenty of alcohol esters and Belgian yeast. Also rather sweet. Wild yeast in the flavor that is not apparent in the nose, and ultimately produces an unpleasant aftertaste.
O: unusual for style, this Belgian ale was disappointing but should appeal more to folks who like wild yeast in their beers more than I do.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft at Novare Res. Glad to see they re brewed this since 2008... Classic beer that I used to drink pretty often back in the late 90’s. Pours a clear golden color with a two plus finger sticky foam head. Aromas are classic fruity belgian yeast, light warming spice and a touch of honey malt. The palate is crisp yet round, big yeasty fruit, apple, pear, honey and lots of balanced spice complexity that lingers through the finish. Great winter offering that Id like to see in a bottle again.

Draught. Pours a clear amber color with a small head. Nose has some dark fruit elements to it with just a hint of orange. Taste seems a little dry at first, but ends up a slightly bitter with just a hint of sweetness.

Apricot ears. Sassafras. Bitter chardonnay. Sugarcane. Lemongrass. Peppercorns. Rich vanilla caramel. Well blended. Good mouthfeel. Vinous and juicy but very dry. Feels like a sharp spicy Trippel.
