3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20UPDATED: JAN 29, 2008 Re-rate, Jan 28, 2007: Draft at <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/illinois/chicag Map Room. Bright brass color with a light head. Crispy malt smell. Taste shows thick, syrupy tripel malts. Lots of Belgian sugar, with only mild bitterness. Hews very close to style, which is nice in its own right, I guess.
Original Rating: Feb. 7, 2005:
Corked bottle. Big foaminess on pour. Color is a dark straw, if such a description is possible. A bit of banana ester that threatens to overwhlem the rest of the taste. Then I get a touch zinfandel wine for some reason. Very interesting.

Crisp golden brew with a pure white medium head. Aroma is not very strong but has hints of yeast and fruits. Good balance of smoothness and carbonation. Nice blend of wheat and fruit flavors with a spicy finish. Great beer.

Light golden color, little cloudy with nice head. Aroma of grains and yeast. Taste is much better, firstly sweet & spicy with citrus background. After that appears some yeastness. Long sweet & spicy finish. Full body, high carbonation. Very good abbey ale, but not as good as Orval.
