Complex flavors of hop flowers and spicy, fruity esters from the Belgian yeast are perfectly balanced with the robust flavors and aromas of malt. The finish is an assertive aroma from the dry-hopping. The soft golden color is a glorious jewel to look at. You can’t get a more perfect head and lace. I wonder if the Canadians that live near this brewery know how world class it is? The Belgium aspect of it is mild. Tastes like a Belgium IPA. Delicious. Wonderful sediment in the bottle makes this beer world class. Wow wow wow! $4.99 11.5oz.

The beer has nice citrus aroma with yeasty underontes. It pours a nice hazy orange with a lingering light foam. It has a nice balance of bitter and sweet that lingers on the tounge. An excellent selection!

Picked this and peche mortal up at Stateline Liquors in MD. Poured into my Chimay Chalice. A- Pours with a 1/2 finger creamy white head that has perfect retention. Body is a beautiful translucent gold. Cloudiness is very dense and yeast sediment can be seen floating throughout along with bubbles steadily rising to the top. S- Nose is soft and floral hops, peppery spice. and sweet yeast are detectable with a light scent of fruits too. Very nice. T- Dry apple, pear, and citrus upfront with a soft,smooth, yeasty backbone. Bitter floral hops and a good dose of peppery spice kick in for the finish and do not overpower what was already present. Soft hop bitterness and all the characteristics mentioned before linger on the back of the palate long after each swallow. P-Medium to high carbonation and a light smooth and yeasty body. O- Well here you have it. I haven’t sampled much from this style considering we like our big beers-and BSPA is my favorite style. The other pale Abbey Ales I have tried don’t measure up to this one though. This has everything I like about BSPAs and Tripels w/o as much Alcohol...therefore perfect drinkability. French Canadians sure do know how to make their Belgians. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 08-06-2008 00:04:49

pours golden, slight hue and particules (yummy) with a 3-finger white head, excellent retention and lacing. aroma is of herbal and citrus hops, slightly floral - definitely dry-hopping. like tons of hop pellets. great yeast - some spiciness and fruitiness (apples, pears, apricot), even a little funky (some brettanomyces-akin esters). medium to full body - yes - oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation and great malty body. dry and relatively short finish, considering the amount of hops. hint of sweetness, some honey. ABV very well hidden. good to high drinkability. would buy a 6-pack anytime. excellent brew.

Beautiful yellow gold in hue, with yeasty esters floating inside. A nice subtle aroma of floral & herbs. Sweet start with a light sour finish. Wonderful beer for all seasons.

Pours a dense amber body fraught with beautiful particulate beneath a creamy, lasting white head. Deep, fruity aroma... a sweet cocktail of cherries, peach, tangerine with a pleasing waft of alcohol as well as remnants of tea leaves, tree leaves and honey. The marriage of Belgium & England is well-played. Flavor leans towards the latter as the tongue is first met by the taste of an English IPA before it opens up to sweeter fruitiness, a cheesish yeastiness and, once again, a sweet drop of honey. Lightly astringent yet the flavors last with a complex sweet-yet-bitter spiciness. Quite incredible. ~~~~~~~ Single 12 oz. bottle from Archer Liquors, Chicago.

Slightly hazed and tawny in color with a tall lingering frothy head. Superb lacing. Aromas of citrus and stonefruit nectar. Medium weight on the palate with excellent carbonation creating an expansion on the palate with a fluffy softness. Dry yet fruity with flavors of citrus and banana gum spice. A strict peachpit bittering component rips through every sip like a sword leaving a bitterness on the tongue. The finish is perfect. This beer is rich yet balanced.

from Mondial de la Bière, Strasbourg - dark cloudy orange colour with a persistent pale beige foam; nice lace; perfumy aroma of grapefruit, candi sugar and esters; juicy palate and medium to full malt backbone; hints of banana; some sweetness and a solid astringent bitterness; long bitter hoppy finish with notes of honey, grapefruit and caramel - absolutely superb

Bottle. Great thick meringue head on hazy dark yellow. Delicate peppery spice nose. Highly spiced flavour. First taste seems mild then the aftertaste grows and grows. Hints of vanilla, pepper and banana. Second sip and all the flavours come together. Could get drunk night after night on this, tastes better each sip.

A spicy, slightly alcoholic aroma. Nice head; good orange color. This a quite malty and grassy beer, yet it is still really good. Very creamy and smooth, but a nice spice bite. Excellent if you’re craving something malty. Some orange as well.
