Beer 35 Summer 2006 trip in Europe. Drank on 7/5/06 at a Thai Restaraunt in Amsterdamn. The beer went down smooth it was ok, bu not great by any means.

Bottle: Poured a hazy deep yellow color ale with a huge foamy dirty white head wit pretty good retention. Aroma of Belgian yeast with sweet malt. Taste is quite refreshing with some mild sweet malt and nice dose of Belgian yeast. Medium dry finish with a nice above average body. Very good take on the style.

Bottle; Nose of caramel, apple, and spice; light brown with not much head; smells better than it tastes; some caramel and pepperiness.

12oz bottle, a steal at $1.49 at west lakeview in chicago. pours clear auburn with small white head. nose is cherry pits, raisins, toffee, toasted biscuit, and grains. flavor is sorta muted, raw wet grains, dull biscuit, hints of cherry pits, rubarb. palate is just too dry and earthy. still a nice session belgian ale, but nothing special. mouth feel is too watery.

Pours amber with a beige head. Aroma is caramel, fruity and spice. Flavour is caramel, spice and light alcohol.

Amber pour. Sour-ish aroma. Taste is a nice amber. Has bland notes as well. Decent, but only decent.
