4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Wow, this is a really good belgian strong golden ale. THanks to weeare for pouring me a glass off the keggerator! Reminded me of duvel a bit. Pours a hazy golden color with high carbonation and a massive pure white fluffy head which lasts and leaves some of the best lace I have ever seen. Aroma is lightly spicy with hints of coriander and clove, but is dominated by lots of sweet bready malts. Flavor is a bit sweet, but not over the top or cloying, spicy and yeasty. Finish is smooth and dry.
