3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours cloudy yellow brown with a decent sized white head that quickly fades into a small ring. Decent carbonation and lacing. Aroma is on the sweet side with a subtle hints of hops and spice in the background. Taste is a bit alcoholic but blends quickly into a nice balance of hops and malts. All around well balanced ale. Hinds the alcohol fairly well.

UPDATED: APR 26, 2010 Arrrrhhh! Bottle pour to Trappist glass orangy-yellow slightly cloudy with medium white head that disappears quickly. Nice lacing. Aroma spices and fruits, a bit acidy. Taste fruits, apples, citrus, spices with a mildly bitter finish. Medium body and texture. Alcohol not overbearing but present.
Overall I like it. Solid beer.
