16oz bottle in a Trappist glass. Aroma of caramel malts, some light fruit, spices, and a hint of alcohol. I’m not sure how good this bottle is because the texture seems a little off. Flavor sweet with hints of caramel and banana and Belgian yeast. Very little hops flavor. Pretty good beer, but there are a lot of better ones.

Bottle. Light hay for the malt, medium to heavy lemon and perfume for the hops, moderate horse blanket for the yeast, with a hint of white wine. Head is large, frothy, white with good lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is clear, but hazy on the last pour, yellow. Flavor starts slightly sweet and moderately to heavily acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery with a fizzy carbonation. A very light and sprightly Belgian Strong Ale with a pretty unique hop profile.

16oz ceramic flip-top bottle -
Pretty decent beer here, although the price-tag is a bit off-putting. Nearly $10 for a pint of this just isn’t worth the price of admission. Aroma is grainy, slightly sweet with dose of hay, pear and apple juice. Flavor is mildly sweet, decent floral hopped flavor, light bubblegum and some faint citrus. Finish is a bit noticable with the alcohol. Body is a slightly hazy golden hue with a dense off-white 2" head. Again, nice but not for the sticke price.

Ceramic bottle shared from Jarrett. Yeast Hoist version from the comic books. Beer with comics! Yeasty. Nice aroma. Straw color. Nice.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
0.5 litre ceramic flip-top bottle. Pours a hazy pale gold with a moderate white head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left partial lace. Pleasant aroma of malt, yeast, spice, and lemon. The flavor is similar with the same malt, yeast, spice and lemon. A tad sweet. I have to admit I bought this one more because of the cool ceramic bottle than for the beer inside - marketing works.
