750ml from Pick’s poured into my Chimay Trappist glass. 2009 vintage bottle number 2643 of 3000 Pours a hazy gold with 2 fingers of white head. Aroma of citrus and yeast. Taste is medium sweet. Candied sugar, wheat, yeast and light citrus. Medium-full bodied with a thick texture. Lively carbonation and a long sweet finish. The carbonation explodes in your mouth. Very champagne-like. Overall, very good. I’ll definitly be drinking this again, but probably splitting with a friend.

3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
2009 version, bottle 898 of 3000. Gold, big white head. Smells - look, I’m gonna be honest here: The word "boozy" shows up in my notes , like 4 or 5 times. Usually, that’s kind of a deal breaker for me, but it kinda works here. So, yeah - alcohol, some peppery notes, some winey notes, and as it warms I swear I got a minty flavor. and booze. I don’t know if I could finish an entire 750, but I liked my sample.

Bottle courtesy BlackSwan. Pours a clear light yellow color that touches on gold. Ring of white head. Very bready aroma. Some light Belgian fruit with alcohol and yeast. Flavor is very sweet as well with Belgian yeast notes coming through as well. Bit of a tingle over the palate that finishes nicely.
