3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Location: 22 oz bottle from Whole Foods - Kirby,6/12/13
Aroma: The aroma is malty and grainy, some some straw notes, light grass, and mild fruit
Appearance: It pours a clear golden color with a small white head and some light lacework
Flavor: The difference from nose to flavor is more yeast and spice,, and the grass come out a bit more too
Palate: The body is fairly light, but it isn’t watery, it has a soft feel, and a spicy tingle on the finish
Overall Impression:
I was fairly unimpressed by this one. There just isn’t anything too exciting here, and I thought I’d get a more inspired beer from SKA. It is not a bad beer, it just doesn’t really excite.

Pours clear pale yellow. The nose is spice, straw and sweet bread. The taste is sweet with an odd bitter. Possible oxidation. The texture is soft, medium body and a long finish.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Backlog rating 1-06-2009 (Bottle) The Appearance is a white semi-fizzy small head with poor retention, transparent body, visible carbonation, one ring of lacing, and a yellow-golden hue. The Aroma is sweet, clove, fruity, and lightly hoppy. This beer taste sweet, honey, lightly malty, and fruity. The Palate is slightly tingly and this is a light-medium bodied beer. Overall, this beer does not smell or taste like a Belgian Strong Ale and it did not set the world on fire for me in any way, shape or form. The Aromas and Flavors did not click especially for this beer style. This is a beer that will not be on my personal list of beers that I want to drink in the future.
2.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 4/20
Aroma of spices, herbs, belgian yeast, and honey. Pours a bright clear yellow with no head or lacing. The taste is slightly sweet. Belgian spices, hints of honey, cloves, and grain with a peppery finish. An alcohol taste also present. Medium-light body and carbonatin. Overall, ok, but I’m not going to buy it again.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 17/20
Apple and pears mixed some faint alcohol in the background. Subdued flavors, nothing stands out. Mild sweetness mixed with fruits and spices. Some medicinal like tastes in the background. Nothing wrong, except its not very bold, as I would expect from a strong ale style. Kick it up a notch.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Aroma is grainy malts, yeast and fruit. The flavor is malts, hop undertones, berries, dark fruit, and a warming and mildly alcoholic finish.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
I just can’t get into Belgians. This has the sweetness characteristic of the style, but not a lot else to the beer.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Refrigerated bomber compliments of joepeesie poured into a trappist glass. Pours hazy golden with small white head that dissapates quickly. Small big bubble, medium/thin rocky body, low carbonation, slightly syrupy texture, and sweet aroma. Taste is doughy malt, some candy sugar, some honey, spice and light bitter finish. Not a great brew, but I like it because it is different.
