4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20 boccefloyd (101) - Bon Air, Virginia, USA - DEC 19, 2010
Let me put a stake in the ground right here, I like this beer. Is it the best beer going? No. Is it in the upper echelon? Definitely. Pours golden with a large fluffy white head, bunches of carbonation, somewhat cloudy. Great nose, citrus, floral, yeast, bready, all with some mild funkiness, barnyard. Medium-full body, smooth, full carbonation, bitter and crisp. On the tongue, its all there, cherries, fruits, malts, yeast, funky, barnyard. Only thing missing is the kitchen sink.

3/25/10 bottle. Blunted gold color with heavy carbonation. Huge, rocky head. Unique aroma that is dry, somewhat tart , and slightly hoppy. Taste is light bitter hops up front followed by tart and a crisp, dry finish. I also pick up on some background caramel notes as the finish winds down. Quite tasty.

06/12/2010 - 33cl bottle @ home
A little cloudy amber to copper coloured beer, white creamy solid head, adhesive. Aroma: hop bitters, slightly bretta sour and yeast. Taste: strong hop bitterness, a little tartness like green apples and a bready yeast note. Aftertaste: dry bitterness, still the slight tart note. MF: nice carbon, medium body. One of my favourites.
Note: so I finally got around to taking some notes for the trappists. I’ve been drinking them for years and usually when I did not felt like sampling something new and taking notes. Tasted them with 2 friends for a trappist review article in the student society magazine.
