Slifgtly hazy orange color, not much head. Fruity, Belgian yeasty aroma (peach and mango). Medium-bodied. Sweetish fruity - mango, apricot, apple - flavor. Oily palate. Hides its alcohol very well. Very American Belgian Strong Ale.

2009 vintage. Where this beer impresses me the most os the complexity in the palate. I would not say that it is full bodied, but has a length that lingers in the mouth.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A: Golden-orange body. Minimal head. No lacing to speak of.
S: Bam. Chardonnay hits you right of the bat. Its not overpowering though. You could still get some yeast, pepper, clove and banana notes.
T: More of the same. I think the Chardonnay grapes accentuate the flavor even more than in the nose. Banana and yeast carry the day as malt takes a back seat.
M: Smooth. Refreshing. Slightly acidic. Clean finish.
O: More of a novelty than anything else. A nice beer, but one that maxes out toward the end of the glass.

Light warming finish, notes of white grapes, yeast, spice, fruits. Delicious beer. Has held up very well and this was just a joy to drink.
