(Bottle) Pours a light amber color with little head, but champaign-like carbonation. Light fruit and yeast in the aroma. Taste included some sugary cotton candy notes, some vanilla, and a good amount of spice as well. Light hops as well. Good palate and fizzy mouthfeel. The alcohol is nicely masked within the beer.

Golden-brown colour. Fruity, chewy nose with light phenols. Hints of bubblegum on the palate, along with spicy notes and hints of yeast. Middlin.

Pours golden with lots of bubbles. Fruity esters in the aroma accompanied by some spice and some floral hops. The flavor is very similar almost to a tee. Zesty carbonation and mouth-feel. I enjoyed it.

Pours a honeyed color with a thick white head. Aromatic, soapy hop smell. Maltier in flavor than it looks. A nice dose of sugar too and balanced.

Flowery hop smell. The taste wasn’t any different. I felt like i was drinking a flower. Not my thing, really.

22 ox bomber. Pours dark gold with a small white head. Skunky, spicy, alcohol nose-a bit yeasty and hoppy. Body is medium with a nice malty thick mouth full of fruit and spice. A bit hot and not real subtle. NOTE: I had the dry-hopped version on tap at Avery during GABF-a completely different superb beer.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
THOUGHTS: It’s like Duvel x 3, but not in an entirely good way. A nice Belgian ale but nothing special.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a sparkling, dark golden with a small, white head that mostly diminished and left virtually no lacing. The aroma was lightly hoppy with candy sugar fruit and spice. The initial flavor was moderately sweet, while the finish was heavily sweet and lighlty bitter with a short to average duraion. The flavor was cndy sweetness with just enough hops in the finish to not be cloying. It was also quite yeasty with some spice. The medium body was syrupy with fizzy carbonation and a moderately astringent finish.
