3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
enjoyed much more than the other belgium they were offering. sweet and spice aroma and taste, the only knock of this is that it was a little light. would have preferred something a little more bold.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy orange color with no head. Aroma is of slightly musty hops. Very light malt taste with the signature hay and spicy yeast flavors of a saison. Interesting take on a Belgian Ale and tasty enough.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On-tap at the brewpub: Dull orangey gold color with a medium, firmly stacked head of yellowy foam. Slims down to nothing bit a few spots and some minimal laceing.
Aroma is wheaty strong in snap, yet subdued in aura with a tender doughy sweetness and some slight yeasty dried and candied spice that brings in that same Trappist style that’s very akin to the recently, and still available, Yuletide Abbaye.
Taste is just as broad with a lot of candish wheatyness and pastry doughyness. A bit one dimensional, but good all the same as its flavor lasts a good long time and keeps the snap of wheat and sweet together nicely as it fades ever so gently into a drying, delicate, pale, softness of Trappist yeast goodness.
Feel is well within a medium body and holds a nice tangy sweetness of wheaty pale malts and candyishness. Good length and tone to its character and decoratively fashioned in its finish with the pleasing yeasty dryness thats ever so soft and faint, yet giving and fruitful to the palate.
A damn fine ale thats super drinkable and growler worthy for a full sessionable Belgian Pale treat.
