3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle, part of the global beer network Belgian 6 pk. A nice amber with a decent head that reduced quickly but remained til the end. Mild aromas familliar to belgian styles, caramel and some fruity/banana like tones. Nice and smooth, a real drinker. If I was introducing someone to belgian beer and I knew they were shy towards stronger ales, I’d let them try this one first.

UPDATED: JAN 25, 2007 Lagery gold pour. Intensely sweet malty-hoppy nose developing some gueuzish vinegar as it warms. In fact, it smells exactly like gueuze. But flavour-wise, crisply hoppy with a nicely rounded bready maltiness in the finish. Pleasantly metallic. Somewhere between a very sweet malty lager and a hoppy straw ale. Tasty and refreshing.

Pours a copper-amber color with a foamy white head. Nice roasty hoppy aroma. Sweet floral flavor with a medium body. Yummy!

Bottle purchased at John’s Grocery in Iowa City, IA. Pours a hazy copper with a creamy ecru head that diminishes to a skin at the surface and laces nicely. The nose is of toasted barley with a touch of floral hops in support. Medium-bodied and creamy with a lightly bitter and mildly dry finish. The flavor is of toasty, sweet and lightly sour malt with a mild supporting note of floral hops. This is a pretty solid brew. I’m surprised to see it with such a low average rating.

(Bottle) Pours a clear amber with a creamy white head. Aroma of apples, grass, honey, caramel, and sweet malt. Bittersweet flavor, hoppy, sometimes watery but in general, it has a good medium body. A very drinkable and well balanced amber ale.

poured from bottle an amber color with off white head. Aroma comes off as slightly hoppy almost like a light IPA. The flavor hits with a malty sweet floral hoppiness, but has a slightly astringent bitter ending. I like how this beer starts I just wished it had a stronger finish for the price.
