3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
A: The pour is a dark and mildly hazed golden color with a fluffy white head.
S: Quite a bit of spice esters such as all spice, clove, and nutmeg. Some mild pear and apple fruitiness along with a bit of citrus peel. Plenty of sweet sugar and caramel malts, too.
T: More of a citrus presence on the flavor than I had expected. Still some sweet fruits like pears and bananas along with the spice notes. Caramel, candi sugar, and a bit of alcohol to round it out.
M: The body is medium with a medium level of carbonation. As sweet as this beer is, luckily it’s not syrupy.
D: A bit too sweet for me with a sort of half hearted spice character. A bit boozy, too.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a pretty light amber with a very thin , fast-fading head. Scent is of caramel malts and ripe fruits. Taste is a dry sweetness with a slightly bitter aftertaste.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours rusty-blonde with very little head. Nose is funky and only slightly sweet with a touch of hops. Flavor is very herby and grassy for a beer and the malt is not particularly distinct apart from those notes. Hops are weak and mostly on the back. This is a really weird belgian strong and not one I like.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a golden yellow color, nose is spicy with hints of pale stone fruit, taste is a little chalky, spicy, not too bad.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a hazy gold with a nice white head. Fruity aroma. Flavor is apricot, yeast, citrus, slight clove, pears. Alcohol is hidden pretty well until you finish the 22oz bomber than you feel it. A decent Belgian golden ale but nothing special, I have had better.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a clear gold with a small white head. Aroma is spicey, earthy and floral. Taste is sweet with a spicey finish. Very smooth and easy to drink, the alcohol is hidden well.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Fresh, crisp, light and tasty. Simply said, this Belgian Ale is a "refreshing" change from your heavier, more robust ales.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Amazingly brilliant clarity! Not as carbonated as most Belgian beers, which actually I don’t mind at all. Aroma is complex spice, straw and light fruits. Light, fresh palate with great spcie and malt flavour. A very drinkable beer, thanks BeerMasons for bringing another great beer to our shores.
