A fantastic beer in my humble opinion. Huge hoppy aroma imediately from the bottle. Beautiful pour which shows off its amber cloudy body and huge white head. This disipated pretty rapidly, but the tast left behind was amazing. Slight alcohol touch is the only negative thing about it. Loads of hops with a very sweet malty depth. Some strong yeast is present, as is a sweet spicy aroma. A hopheads delight!

does not count  Oct 9, 2008 This is a great beer. I liked it better than the Chimay blue reserve and I typically like bitter dark beer. I will go as far as to say it is now my favorite. It very foamy so I had to wait to drink but it’s excellent. I can’t put my finger on the flavor they added but its creamy and superb. Not to expensive either. I can’t wait to have another.

Oct 9, 2008 Clove and Cinnamon aroma. Murky body clarity with medium body. Moderately bitter initial flavor. My least favorite of the Chimay’s. A little hoppy for the style, but not bad.

Oct 8, 2008 Pours a murky golden color. Good lacing. Aroma of light spice and bready malts. Intial flavor of spicy bready malts with a light alcohol finish. Not bad but I like the Westmalle triple better.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle. Bubbly golden orange pour with white fizzy head. Spicy and sweet. Lots of yeast, some citrus, and a doughiness on the nose as well as some hops. Similar on the palate with some added apricot/peach and honey notes. Always a pleasure.

Pours a very CO2 active clear golden colour with a nice big head.
Very fresh lime smell with hints of spices.
Really inviting and refreshing beers, makes you want more and more.
Taste is clean hops and spices with a nice warm finish.
Goes down great.
