4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
11.2 oz. bottle. Pours a cloudy, amber-orange with a huge frothy off-white head that lasts throughout. Quite effervescent. Amazing lacing. Aroma of fruits, citrus, grapes, and bubble gum. Taste is sweet malt with a pronounced hop character. For me, this is quite complex with oranges, grapes, and bubblegum. A little spicy, and a bit earthy. Medium to full body. Lively carbonation. Crisp and refreshing. Short, dry finish. Easy to drink. Great choice for my 100th rating.

11.2 oz bottle Gold color, great lacing. Great aroma from dry hopping. Incredibly complex. Only gets better with age. Perhaps the best beer in the world.
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Bottle sample. This is one of my favorites of the Trappist beers. Pours a dark cloudy gold, wonderous beige head great lacing. The aroma is of fruit an hops. Taste is hoppy and of grape, very palatable. This is one beer I cannot have enough of, I could drink this all night. There is only one problem I have with this, and that is every time you uncap a bottle it just foams right out, which could be considered good and bad, just messy.
3.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cloudy dark yellow pour, large bubbles. Aroma of nutmeg, banana, "Christmas" spices. Large bubbles in the mouth, with a tight taste, opening up to citrus as it warms to the right temperature. The friendly aromas don’t come through strongly in the taste, however, otherwise I’d like this one even more.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Cloudy orange brown with an off white head. Aroma i is medium with notes of citrus, hops and yeast. Taste is also citrusy hoppy with a medium yeasty backbone. Refreshing and easy for a belgian.
