atpayne (615), Zionsville, Indiana, USA Mar 12, 2005 Very full of yeast which gives it an interestering look. Orangish tan and very cloudy with a creamy white long lasting head. Aroma is yeast, wheat, citrus. Smells like a standard triple. The flavor is trong... spiced and a mild alcohol takes up resicence. For moments there are bubble gum hints. The finish is smooth and warm and the tangy alcohol sits on the tongue. Walt (2289), Chicago, Illinois, USA Mar 11, 2005 Pour is hazy orangey amber with thin quick dissipating off white head...smell is sweet with clove, doughy, spicy...taste is sweet with light fruits followed quickly by a warmth of sweet alcohol...finish is quick...good stuff... mball581 (20), Maineville, Ohio, USA Mar 3, 2005 Amber-orange color, moderate head. Fruity bubble gum, caramel malt, and candied banana aromas. Medium body with slight sweetness and alcohol showing through. Nice long finish 11026 (1799), Alabama, USA Mar 2, 2005 Bottle. Commercial description is right on. A hazy light-orange color with a decent white head. No lacing. Aroma is spicey, clove-like with melon and a hint of yeast. Medium bodied leaning to full. smooth. Sugary with fruit and clove flavors. Damn tasty. Thanks The Beer God!! 5000 (2409), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA Feb 17, 2005 Bottle pours a cloudy dirty butterscotch, medium foamy off-white head, with spotty lacing.   Heavy bready aroma, some cloves and spices, as well as subtle notes of alcohol.   Heavy light fruit (apples/pears) and a strong dough like flavor on the tongue.   Body is almost there, but the mouthfeel seems rather thick and viscous.   Finishes very bready, thick, semi-sweet, with lingering clove.   Pretty tasty!   Thanks goes out to TAR for the trade!
TChrome (1298), Bedford, Texas, USA Feb 13, 2005 Beer pours very murky thick honey with lots of sediment. Aroma has significant yeast notes as well as white pepper and some nice fruity esters. Flavor is significantly fruity with big yeast notes and a dry finish. This is a very strong example of the style and must place amoung the best in the U.S. Very good. Thanks DocLock!!! verymerrymonk (255), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Feb 3, 2005 Body pours a cloudy golden orange with no head. Banana and alcohol in the aroma, and a lot of the same from the flavor. Also, bubble gum and cantaloupe. Lightly carbonated for an appropriate nice mouthfeel. Lou18 (1353), West Paterson, New Jersey, USA Feb 3, 2005 A bottle on golden amber goodness from Richlikebeer. Poured amber/brown and very cloudy, as I would expect from a bottle conditioned abbey. Delicious aroma of malts and sour yeast. Poured a little to aggressive, my bad. Head is creamy off white, and big. This has a bite of a sour taste in the after taste. I taste the clove, which I don’t love, but also taste the melon. Better than average.
