Jun 6, 2007 The label on the bottle referred to this as an Abbey Ale, and that claim led to my disappointment with this beer. It looked the part, with a golden color and nice sticky Belgian lace, but its flavor really struck me as being quite boring for this style. Aroma was OK, and this beer exhibited some faint sourness with maybe some faint cloviness. Flavor was the boring part of this beer, with a bit of very approachable sourness that really didn’t move me. The beer didn’t really exhibit any other strong flavor notes to me. Mouthfeel was good and smooth (like a secondary fermentation should), but that wasn’t really enough to win me over and get me past the non-flavor of this particular beer.

Jun 2, 2007 Bottle. Pours with a golden, clear color and a medium head. Aromas of spices, a bit of hops and some dough. Flavors of dough and yeats a bit of citrus and orange, some spices and some hops. I think this is much better than the rating percentile suggests. It is very well balanced.

May 27, 2007 12 oz bottle from Malt of the Earth Beer club. Pours a clear golden blond with an average sized head. Nose is a little spicey and quite malty. Taste is some wheat,pear, peach, cardomom, subtle floral hops, a little grassiness in the finish. I seem to detect even a bit of toastiness in the aftertaste. Carbonation is high and body is mediium.

Apr 8, 2007 The aroma had light malt, honey, caramel, and hints of citrus and coriander with spicy saaz hops. The beer poured a light borwn, clear color with thin lasting head and lacing. The flavor had caramel, molasses, honey, spicy saaz hops, coriander, and hints of citrus. The mouthfeel was light and carbonated while being warm and wet. This was a 750ml bottle from Holiday Wine Celllars in Escondido, CA. The label had a note of "Ano 1110" on the front and on the ring label at the neck.

Mar 27, 2007 Hops! Spicy and herbal, then there’s a layer of caramel/brown sugar, but also an apricot like fruitiness and just a touch of phenol, enough to remind me this is a Belgian ale. Slick, sweet mouthfeel. Candyish and lightly phenolic. Slightly bitter/metallic in the finish, probably arising from the higher hopping rate. Hazy yellow-orange color with a soapy looking head.
