Style: Belgian Ale
Harelbeke, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

Deep amber/brown color with a towering head. Spicy yeast aroma with banana and orange. The taste went decidedly downhill with a slightly sour malt taste. It’s like a really weak and tart gueuze sourness. All the Belgian qualities (bread, yeast, fruit) are gone. Just a weird sourness. Blah.

Sweet yet sour aroma, some brown sugar. Pours light brown to dark blonde with a big white head. Some fruit, citrus, brown sugar/caramel, with a sourish flavor, reminded me of a saison, a little dry too.

Poured a clear brown hue with a white hed that had good retention. Seemed to be almost sour. It had some fruit notes but in general it was rather sour. very disappointed.

I had this beer at a bevmo tasting in Laguna Niguel, Calif. Amber, fizzy up front that smooths out later. The flavor is slightly fruity

Amber with a huge head that dissapates quickly. Bitter hops and some citrus. Dusty and yeast with some notes of bread. A little sour. Medium bodied with a dry, citrusy finish.

Shared at thedm’s. Coppery amber color out of the bottle with a big, off-white head. So carbonated that it was almost distracting on the tongue. Dark fruity sweetness with thin brown sugar. This was a typical belgian ale when I was expecting something special for the season.

i really liked this beer, it was late in the night and my palate was approaching shot, but there was still enought there for me to give it a decent rating. a pretty good belgy

not quite what I was hoping for. I sense malts with taste of citrus, caramel and mild. hops are decent but not outstanding.
