3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JUN 11, 2010 On tap at fiddler’s NJ :
An unexpected find at a local after work watering hole.
Tapped a copper color with a large ’Belgian head’, long retention and great lacing.
Aroma is simple but ample and fresh; bready malts, fruit notes and woody hopping.
Flavour is unpretentious as well; big malts in the front, twiggy-spicy hopping compliments but allows malts to sit forward, middle has some fruit tones and earthyness, rich malt and fruity finish.
I like this kind of a thick malty beer even though it’s out of profile for what one would expect from a Belgian ale...malt is prominent and a welcome...a satisfying approachable ale. I’ll be back for more

Refreshing, nothing from another world. It was nice but just like that. IT’s easy to drink and with good appearance.

Draft at Irenes. Wow what a let down. Poured a thin amber body with a small white head. Aroma was mostly grassy hops and cereal grain hops, flavor disappointingly followed suit. Best thing I can say about this beer was it was served in the proper glassware which was a rather nice sniffter.

Lots of carbonation. Floral and hop aromas. Golden coloured a little rich on the palate and sour with a crisp and slightly dry full malt finish.
