Feb 17, 2008 Bottle. Pours perfectly clear gold, very filtered. Short fizzy white head. Lively carbonation from the center of the chalice. Smell is biscuits and yeast with some fruity/vinous tones. Taste is harsh at first almost metallic. After allowing to warm to almost room temp it acquires an almost buttery yeasty flavor that isn’t disagreeable but isn’t especially good either. Mouth feel is medium full and lively. Not terrible but I expect more out of a Belgian.

Feb 16, 2008 11.2oz bottle. Honey golden color, filtered. Deliciously sweet and creamy, with nice yeast character. Lovely honey-floral aroma. Light candi sugar flavors come through. Moderate alcohol isn’t overwhelming but certainly makes itself known. A great standard Belgian beer.

Feb 16, 2008 Sweet floral aroma. Golden color with great head initially that fades quickly. Malty intro that transitions smoothly with light carbonation into a clover honey aftertaste. The alcohol reveals itself early on but is not a detriment. My wife actually likes this beer and I do too. Now, if I can only find the Brune version...

Feb 16, 2008 Bottle in namesake chalice: Golden-amber under a nice head; nice lacing. Fruity aroma with good strong hops...some almonds. Tastes slightly bitter with well-rounded alcoholic feel. Malty with traces of sour-apple. Flavourfully warming on the palate...what abbey ale is a ll about.

Feb 13, 2008 I had this beer poured into a trappist glass in Brussels. It had a clear, darker gold color with a medium-sized, foamy white head that featured average to good retention. The aroma was sweet grapes and some malt, with a bit of citrus hops. It tasted more sour than I expected, but still had some sweetness too, and just a touch of bitterness. A wet, fuller body with tingly, ample carbonation. A very solid beer.

Feb 10, 2008 Updated: May 20, 2008Nutty, doughy, and banana nose. Rich gold in color, crystal clear. Great complexity and balance, very enjoyable. A Belgian session beer.

Feb 10, 2008 Great Belgian from a nice Abbey. Pours a beautiful golden color, nice head formation from a bottle. Good aroma and a wonderful mouth-feel. All the good things about a Belgian in a nice blond beer.

Feb 9, 2008 I thoroughly enjoyed this Abbey. Beautiful presentation on the bottle, even a more beautiful taste. Pours golden blonde, but I did get a dissapointing head. Flavor notes: slightly fruity, barley, light overtones of sweetness. Overall a great choice!
