3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 tmoreau (1626) - Lombard, Illinois, USA - APR 6, 2011
Shared bottle at a group tasting party. Poured a hazed, golden hue, with a fair amount of persistent, white head foam, and clingy, etched-like lacing. The aroma was light yeast, fruit tartness, soft malt, sweetness, and a touch of clove. The flavor presented like notes, adding lively carbonation, mellow alcohol warmth, and a nice finishing crispness.

Heavily syrupy with lots of candied sugar. The beer is highly carbonated and is meant to drink very slowly. Enjoy

The aroma is very Belgian Ale like with a strong yeast element and also spice, citrus, and grass. The appearance is hazy amber gold with a medium head. The taste is like the aroma with a touch of fruit and a nice bread like finish. The palate is smooth. Overall a very well crafted beer.

Lavender? No. Coriander? No. Yeast and booze? Yes! But is that really that a bad thing? Sweet, strong and not too complex.

On tap at Vintner. I shouldnt have bought any more beer by them since they made a beer to commemorate the inauguration of a communist half citizen, but.... they do make pretty good beer. This one is yellowish / orange with a tan head on it. Smell is fruity and slightly hoppy. Taste is very smooth and really easy to drink. It was gone before I realized it. Dangerous for 9.5%.

Pours gold with a smallish head. Aroma is funky dark fruit and alcohol. Medium in body with more carbonation than the head would suggest. Flavor is very complex with traditional Belgian fruity flavors combined with a bit of barnyard type funkiness.
