kassner (146), Wexford, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 19, 2008 Had this beer on tap at Magoo’s. Nice belgian ale, with plenty of spce and fishy undertones from the yeast. Light gold color, a little hazy, modest head and a clean finish.
harrisoni (5149), Ashford, Kent, England Sep 8, 2008 Bottle from Dranken Geers. Gold, thin white head. A rather fruity lovely tripel. Really drinkable, reasonably light in mouth. OK so nothing particularly characterful, but I like the easy drinkingness. Some jellied fruit, tangerine. Fine. level4 (18), New Jersey, USA Sep 6, 2008 750ml. Pours copper with lots of carbonation and a medium head with a malty, spicy aroma. Flavor is well balanced with citrus and malt and tiny bitterness. Clean finish as well. It may not be the most complex beer but this beer is very drinkable and hides the alcohol extremely well, which is why I like it so much. EHopper (129), Minnesota, USA Sep 4, 2008 Nice, fruity, dark lemon colored beer with intriguing banana citrus aroma. Great feel in the mouth. Little aftertaste. mwa423 (10), , Ohio, USA Aug 22, 2008 The six pack I had was full of floating yeast, while this is basically harmless, I generally don’t enjoy things floating in my beer. The pour is a dark maize with a thick head that shrinks down to a nice lacing. The Abbey Pale Ale has a nice malt smell with a bit of spice. The taste is an excellent Belgian taste with plenty of malt and citrus flavor. The palate is also excellent, very smooth with just a slight bite in the aftertaste
Overall, very good, I was skeptical of the yeast floating but I didn’t notice it. If you are a fan of Belgian Ales you will absolutely like this. Bonus points for the ABV, which seems higher than your average Belgian Ale
jjuf1853 (200), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA Aug 21, 2008 Bottle pours a hazy golden yellow with a thick white head that quickly recedes. Lively carbonation rising up from the bottom of the glass. Aroma is citrus, coriander, some malt and faint hops. Flavor is fruity (mainly white grapes), yeasty, mildly bitter with a slightly metallic aftertaste. Very smooth and drinkable.
