3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Yellow orange, really good head. Belgian funk aroma with the taste of dark spices and a touch of sweetness. Good - just unfortunate thew style is not in my wheelhouse. I keep drinking these and one day that’ll change.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
355ml bottle. Clear orange, fine sparkling, creamy white head. Fruity and spicy aroma. Sweet, but not too sweet malt, citrus overtones. Burning alcoholic finish. Could do better with some tart yeastie notes.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled 355ml. -from De Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Dark golden coloured, small white head, spices and alcohol in the nose. Sweet malty, fruity and caramel with pleasant spicy and sharp alcohol presence. Spicy and yeasty finish. Alcohol is not so hidden but well balanced. Tasty one.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle to pilsner glass. Pours a orange yellow color with good head. Distinct Abbey style flavor of fruits, but not overly sweet. 10% ABV masked extremely well. Very nice.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Mane Liquor. Pours a fantastic, vibrant orange with a small white head. Aroma picks up lots of sweet candy sugar, cloves and a sweet, yet sharp citrus hop bitterness. Lots of sweet candy sugar in the taste with touches of citrus hop and light spice. Coriander and a hint of pepper on the finish. Abv is hidden very well. Not completely true to the style and a little sweet, but I like it
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sweet, sugary aroma with a light citrus hop sharpness at the end. Beautiful golden orange color, no head. Taste is light and crisp at first but finishes honeyed and heavy with alcohol. Hop bite at end mellows into the sweetness and then turns a slight sour note Not overly complex but quite good.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
No head, draft. Amber orange color, with a light citrus hop aroma. Medium carbonation, but the taste actually reminded me of a cidar beer.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
sampled draft @ Delirium Hoppy Loft: clear yellow with a white head, this tastes a lot like sweet cornflakes with melted sugar on top – in a half good / half weird way – some sweet malts, caramel & definite hops in there as well plus obviously sweet grains – hint banana, slight bitterness from the hops in the finish – sticky & odd – probably would have started hating it if I had more than a small sample – Belgian?
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
This is the best Anderson Valley ale I have had. This is a good Belgian style beer with sweet brown sugar tone
