Forget Miller - if you’re a beer lover wishing for a good beer substitute for champagne on New Year’s Eve, this comes much closer to being the Champagne of Beers (plus, you don’t have to miss out on popping a cork). Its got a light cloudy golden color with a spritely bubbly head that fizzles out quickly, yet maintains a bubbly mouthfeel. Flavor is mainly sweet but not cloying, virtually no bitterness. Yeast dominates, with a yeasty breadiness plus a lemony sourness. This is not one of the great Belgian ales, but its pretty good and makes a much more drinkable beverage on New Year’s Eve than some nasty champagne.

Dec 23, 2008 I was really disappointed in this beer. I love the brown ale but this just had a dry type of flavor to me. It wasnt what I expected.

Dec 20, 2008 750 ml cork and caged bottle from Monaghans. Pours a clear golden yellow with lots of rising carbonation and a large pillowy white head. Aroma of yeast, cloves, banana rinds and finisishes with some bubble gum. Lighter bodied with strong carbonation and a dry yeasty finish. Flavor is dry overall with notes of bread and grain, fruit rind, yeast, pepper and clove. A classic beer that is worthy of a solid score after so many ratings.
