Nice golden colour with a white head. Aromas of malts, yeats and caramel. Bitter and sweet at the same time. Very refreshing.

Finally got around to trying this one and was pleasantly surprised as I usually am with these classics that have been overshadowed by newer, more hyped beers. It pours clear golden with a huge white head. The aroma is very nice and spicy with clove, vanilla, hints of banana. The flavor is sweetish with heavy spicy yeast and vanilla, cinnamon, clove, and a hint of cardboard. A nice choice if you want something a little lighter, but still full flavored and sweet.

Bottle. Somewhat filtered gold with puffy white head. Lots of bubble gum in the nose with notes of wheat and white sugar. Mainly bubble gum. Flavor is bready with bubble gum (much more subtle than in the nose) and a touch of caramel. Full mouthfeel that’s soft and gentle. Bubble gum finish. Simple and one-dimensional but overall clean and enjoyable.

I just don’t know about this one. Pours beautiful golden with small white head. A slight, spicey, fruity aroma. Taste is .... odd, to say the least. Very peppery, spicey and clove. Taste like they actually dumped pepper in the bottle. Slightly sweet finish and aftertase. I want to like it but, meh. Average at best.

This was nice. Copper/golden colored beer with a decent white head. Aromas of cinnamon and spice. Tastes of bitter fruits, spices, cinnamon, and some mild malted caramel. The aftertaste is a bit bitter, but in a good way. Would drink again.

I just finished one of these in a trappist glass. Has a malty aroma that’s a mix of alcohol and malt. Reminiscent of some major commercial beers. Pours golden with a thin to medium, white head that quickly dissipates. Great blend of bitter and sweet taste, with a medium body at best, and a thin to medium texture. A quick finish that will have you sipping this beer quickly until it’s gone.

Great Belgium Abbey Ale. Full flavor for a blond beer. Has a wonderful after taste and very refreshing. Would be a perfect beer but it lacks a full rich head. Best part is you can buy this Belgiun beer every day and not go broke!
