3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap at Pony Bar. Pours dark cherry red. Aroma has yeast and pepper up front with notes of caramel, dark malt, and cherry. Flavor has a surprising tanginess to it; cherry tang with yeast. Some gum notes but not sugary. Lip smackingly tangy. Very enjoyable; I seem to like this a lot more than others.

Pretty disappointing for a Belgian. Aroma is kinda pungent, palate is pretty watery. It does have a bit of a wheaty taste that gives it at least some value. I don’t suppose I’ll be trying it again anytime soon though.

Smells good and yeasty. Looks a little darker than pale ale. Decent flavors lacking any real bitterness. Although I don’t think this stacks up to the real belgians, it is quite refined for an american wannah be. At first I didn’t think much about this but as the session continues I’m starting to like it more and more, I think I’m actually growing to like it. Finishes refreshing mild and easy. Not bad, good overall beer experience.

Pale amber pour thin beige head .... aroma is mostly sweet malts and a little fruity yeast ... taste is sweet malts and light sweet fruits just malty and sweet little grainy with a little hop touch and a dry malty finish ... .disappointing although my sisters dog enjoyed drinking the rest
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pour is a nice red amber hue with a small white head. Sweet malts light yeast and some hop fill the nose. Taste is nice caramel malt with some light hoppiness. Palate is a nice medium body, carbonation is good. Finish is sweet maltiness some sweet spices with some yeast and slight fruitiness ending with a nutty bitter ending. Overall a good drinkable brew

12oz bottle. Clear amber color, minimal head. The only other belgian I’ve had is the Ommegang BPA, and compared to that, this one seems watered-down. Kind of a strange aftertaste-texture, dry but sticky. Nice mild sweet taste, though. Toffee aroma, caramel. Still a decent drink. Although the first impression was poor, it’s definitely getting better as it goes.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Smells and tastes like cherry juice. Way too sweet in my opinion. I can drink one but not much more.

Pours cloudy amber with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel and dried fruits. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter. Body is medium, texture is thin, carbonation is soft.
