MacMoney (323) - Espoo, FINLAND - DEC 17, 2011
Bottle, 330ml. Pours a hazy, light golden with a small, white head. Aroma is fruity, herbal, grainy, straw, coriander, tones of alcohol. Taste is sweet, herbal, herbally spicy, again very fruity, some coriander with a herbal and strawy finish. Aftertaste is herbal and spicy, even a bit peppery, surprisingly short. Palate is quite lively, lot of carbonation, but it doesn’t bother too much. Excellent drinkability. A bit too drinkable for its ABV. One can easily down a bunch of these without realizing that it is actually 8%.

Cloudy gold color with a nice white head and full lacing. A great Belgian with sweet wheat and caramel giving in to a light citrus and spice finsih. Light carbonation bitterness balances well. A traditional Belgian Ale? Yes, but very well done.

on tap, Chouffe street bar, Tel Aviv. Hazy golden colour, with a rocky head. orange, some malt, bubble gum and almonds/orgeat in the nose and a rich, sweetish (though a little bitter), fresh flavour. Nice long, round finish, delicate carbonation and a hint of orange peel in the end. full body. Tres cool!

750 ml bottle today, as well as draft back in Oct 2011 @ Sunset grill and Tap, Allston, MA. Snifter used. Hazy golden with a frothy white head, great retention in both cases. Aroma is of yeast, spice, and sugar. Flavor is full, with plenty of yeasty spice, caramel and floral notes. When it gets warm, it’s still a pleasure to drink. So easy going down. This is what a Belgian Strong is all about! Note--- I compared both draft and bottle to get this rating.
