Wow. Really good brew right here. Pours a bright straw yellow into the glass. I hate to compare the look of it to this but it looks like a miller or coors. But thats where the similarity stops right there. Great flavor, nice hops presence with a solid malt backbone. Great beer and definitely worth a try

The bottle poured a golden-amber clear liquid with a beautiful white creamy head. The head was long standing and left delicate lacing on the glass. The aroma was spicy with clove and pepper coming to the front while notes of delicate sweet fruit lingered in the background. I couldn’t wait to taste this one ... the appearance and aroma promised so much. The body was full with a smooth texture and medium carbonation. The flavor had an initial sweet, spicy tang to it. It matured in the middle to bring out a smooth malt character. The finish was long and warming with slight notes of pepper.

Had on tap, aroma is pleasant, typical of a Belgian Abbey Ale, surprisingly smooth, was excellent cold and didn’t need time to warm up. Dry finish, quite enjoyable.

Bottle from Tesco. Beautiful dark golden colour with a perfect white head. Aroma is both malt and flowery hop with a hint of peach. Flavour mixes sweetness with a slight hint of the sourness of a wheat beer. Hints of apple in the satisfyingly dry finish. Excellent beer that just shades their Dubbel, though as the nights draw in, I’ll probably reverse that.
