sunevdj (1764), Copenhagen OE, Denmark Nov 25, 2006 Updated: Jul 16, 2007Pours a hazy pale yellow with a substantial, white head. Medium sweetness. Quite dry with flavors of yeast, pepper, flowers and sugar. Medium bodied. Sharp dry finish with a floral touch. FROTHINGSLOSH (1961), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 15, 2006 Updated: Aug 27, 2007Sampled on draft at the Sharp Edge in Pittsburgh this beer poured a hazy bright golden color with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, sugary and fruity. The flavor is sweet, tangy and fruity with a sharp bitter middle and a long peppery and spicy finish. The alcohol is a bit noticeable. The mouthfeel is moderately thick. The middle bitterness fades as you get down the glass and the beer keeps getting a little fruitier and better as you go along. TheBeerCollector (548), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Nov 1, 2006 I’m just not a big fan of abbey ales and this one is no exception. Judging from other ratings it’s a good example of the style but not a favorite of mine. TBone (6675), Pori, Finland Oct 30, 2006 Bottled (BB 10/2007).
Slightly hazy golden color, big foamy white head. Fruity, lightly woody hoppy and alcoholic aroma. Intensive bitterness. Super alcoholic with wood, yeast and banana. Long dry bitter aftertaste. Like that subtle fruityness combined with bitterness. dkoonce (879), People’s Republic of Athens, Ohio, USA Oct 21, 2006 Light and clear gold. Thick white head that lasts a few minutes. The aroma is very floral and fruity, with a definite alcohol hint. Very wheaty, with a short finish. RAYBOY01 (1812), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 20, 2006 Great crystal-clear orange pour. i think one of the best aspects of this beer is its nose...fruity yeasts, citrus, bready maltiness, and honey(?). the flavors are quite intense...yeast, fruitiness, pears, tangerines, belgian spiciness, and alcohol. Pretty interesting. thornecb (1734), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA Oct 15, 2006 Lot no. 139557. Pours a bright gold into a tulip. Frothy, bright white undulating micro head. Lemon yeast aromas. Upfront sweet alcohol and caramel with a lasting sweet pepper finish. Stefano (1321), Esbjerg, Denmark Oct 1, 2006 I must have had a bad bottle, becuase it had very off phenolic notes. Not at all pleasant to drink.
