2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Tap at Woodlands/Shenendoah location
Pours an average tea brown with semi-thick white head. Aroma is spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander), sweet and malted bread, and a touch of earthy melon. Flavor is a mishmash of earthy vegetables, dirty malt, melon, and raisin. Watery mouthfeel. A "dubbel" for BMCers to say "Hey! Lookit me! I’m drinkin’ a micro brew!"
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap at Chin Hills location. I wish this was actually a normal version of the beer, because it was terrible. Abbey Dubbel wouldn’t have guessed that at all. Poured an amber/orange color with a medium white head. Aroma of yeast, banana and metal; bizarre. Flavor was dry, yeasty and earthy; no sweetness or fruir. Very metallic. I think they might have some problems with the lines or something, because all the beers were really off.

On Tap at BJ’s Reno Location. Pours out a hazy amber topped with a white head. Aroma of malts and spice. Tast a nice mix of pit fruit and sweetness. A little ABV at the end.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft at BJ’s Reno. The bartender told me it was a ’’Belgian Pilsner’’. Murky dark burnt copper color with an ivory head- this aint no pilsner. Phenolic and malty nose. Malty with wheat flavors. Comes accorss as a sort of belgian hefe- big bubblegum notes. Banana notes that linger. Well brewed but I don’t care much for the beer.

This was a nice little sipper. Caramel and ruby coloring accented by some nice alcohol notes in the aroma, mellow candi sugars, dark fruits and some sweet breads, with just a little bit of rum in the finish.
