Commercial Description:
Our Belgian specialty is fermented with a unique Abbey yeast strain, producing a dry, slightly fruity character and natural hazy complexion. It is refreshingly sweet ale with mild presence of noble hops.

Draft. Pours hazy golden amber. Aroma of fruity belgian esters. Flavor of wheat malt and spices with a mildly bitter finish. Lacks some sweetness, but one of the better beers I had from Harvest Moon

The copper color is nice and offers some nice buttery aroma concealing some clove and nutmeg spiciness. A very good taste showing more clove before finishing clean. Very good beer for the holidays.

Sweet and hoppy at the same time. Much better than the only other beer I have had with the Grand Cru distinction. Not the greatest beer they have, but a decent one nonetheless.

Nice notes of toffee, chocolate, and raisin, lightly accented by hops and a goodly dose of banana yeast esters. Alcohol not overdone. Nice little Belgian. Have to nab the menu description next time I’m there and update the page.
