Draft at Old Dominion Beer Festival 2005... Crystal clear, deep amber ale. The nose is slightly flemish, tart and breadsy with light notes of banana and clove. The flavor is fairly uneventful, but perfectly balanced. Generously hopped by Belgian standards. Light to medium-bodied and fizzy. Crisp, clean finish.

Bottle. Creamy off-white good mostly lasting head. Dark yellow colour. Moderate malty slightly bready aroma. MOderate hoppy and light honey notes. Moderate bitter flavor. Fruity notes. Light bitter herbal finish. Oily palate.

(bottle) Clear copper colour with a foamy off-white medium head. Toast malty and fruity nutty aroma with yeasts. Smooth malty taste with chestnuts, dry and slightly bitter finish with notes of liquorice. A really nice Ale.

Filtered? Mine had sediment. Color is hazy amber. Aroma is a bit acid. Perhaps a bit thin. Tart and a bitterness that lasts to the finish. Refreshing. I don’t, yes, I do, find a bit of sweetness, but it didn’t appear immediately. The fruit develops after several sips. I could drink this frequently.
