4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Appears a light amber/gold with off white head and tons of lacing.
Smell is of raisins and prunes and toasty malts with some tropical fruit, caramel, and raw dough...Belgian bliss!
Taste is of the same aromas.
Mouthfeel is sweet, not cloying with yeasty fruit roughing up the brew for a true Belgian style.
...Side note: Had a week old growler of this after the draft at the brewery and it didn’t do the beer justice until I got to the bottom portion.

On tap at Dragonmead 3-13-09. Smelled and tasted just like a lighter version the dubbel. Light fruits, syrupy, and a little too sweet.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the brewery. Belgian yeast aroma of cloves and sweetness. Dark amber red pour with no head. Much of the same with the flavor, bannana’s cloves and ripe fruits. But a slight tart finish. Not bad. its very smooth as well, I liked this more than I thought I would.

20070113 Tap at HDG Daze. Thin bodied, cardboard, floral, grainy. Honey sweetness. Redeeming grassiness but pretty lame all around.

On tap @ the brew pub: Pours a clear copper color with an off white head. Aroma, spices and lots of them, cloves, and yeast. Flavor, spices, again almost overpowering, some alcohol, yeasty, and doughy. Not bad.

Sampled from a growler @ DLD 4/28/07. Poured a clear golden color with a small eggshell head. Aroma is fruity and malty. The flavor has sweet malt, fruit, and spices. This wassomewhat interesting. Light mouthfeel. The alcohol (8%) is well hidden.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Parking lot of FFF’s on DL day from a growler. A nice golden pour with a light off white gooy lace. An aroma of Belgian yeast kinda corrianderish. A nice maltiness that lends to the overall complexity of this beer. A hint of bitter on the finish. I’m surprised to see that it was 8%.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
A light, golden Belgian style. The description says "white," but I’m not sure if I would call it a white. A light Belgian is about the best you can call this nice beer.

Tasting Notes
Aroma: Malty, fruity, and some vinegar (vineous might be a better way to describe it).
Appearance: Clear gold color.
Flavor: Sugary malts, fruity, some delicate spice.
Palate: Pretty light.
Overall: Somewhat typcial for a Belgian-style beer, but I would probably classify this one as a Belgian Golden Ale rather than an Abbey Dubbel...
