12 oz bottle, 5.9% a/v
Nice copper pour with an adequate light tan head with some lasting power. Scents of hops, spice and some light fruit. The taste is fairly spicy with those fruits coming in as it warms. The hops also provide a dry characteristic which balances this beer well.
Very good american trappist!

Nov 20, 2008 It has to be amazingly difficult to produce a belgian ale of any quality at this price... While it seems that a genuine effort was clearly made, this misses the mark for me... There is a certain genericness to the taste that turns me off to this...

Oct 26, 2008 Didn’t get that much Belgian from this beer. Pours a crystal clear reddish amber with little head. I got a little of the spices but not much else. Disappointing.

Oct 24, 2008 Blah. This is a terrible attempt at a Belgian beer. Aroma was weak. Clove, coriander and bubblegum if you put your nose in the glass. Pour was a nice medium amber with a one finger off white head. Taste was sweet but weak and watery. A hint of yeast with some bubblegum, spice and candi sugar. LIttle carbonation which is odd for a Belgian beer. Blah.

Oct 23, 2008 12 ounce bottle from a sampler. Pours a clear bronze color with a medium head. Clove, bubblegum and candi sugar in the aroma. Strong yeast in the aroma with some spicy notes. Medium bodied. I don’t get the trappist style part, but still fairly pleasant.

Jul 6, 2008 A golden ale with a thin frothy white head. In aroma, a rather chemical orange aroma, a bit of bubblegum, sweet, not bad. In mouth, a malt with lots of curacaoa added, pleasant veering on blanche territory. Very nice. Tasted in late nov. 2006.
