Bottle purchased at Tiffany’s in Kalamazoo this past weekend. It was a nice find, for $8.99 a bottle. It has a nice light golden color with the standard white head. Still holding carbonation quite well it was rather crisp and lively compared to the 17 that my brother had.

Found this and the Unibroue 16 at alocal store on a back shelf. Opens with an instantaneous fruity and sugary aroma. Pours darker orange but not quite copper color with a strong, densely foamed off-white head. Carbonation for the beer is very lively. Aroma is heavily fruit with some notes of apricot, white grape and a light apple, sweetness from a brown sugar also appears as well as a light yeast and bread note. Flavor is a bit spicy, lots of apricot and white grape fruit notes, a smooth raisin and molasses note with bread yeasty note at the very end. Carbonation is fine and makes for a very smooth and creamy beer feeling with almost no alcohol bite, even with the 10% being present. Overall a very good brew that aged perfectly and one I may have to pick up for future aging.

Cloudy bronze/peach pour with white head. Fruit aroma with nice notes of yeast and grain. Slight sweet taste. It leaves a dryness to the mouth but is refreshing. This beer just arrived at the store recently. They never had it there before.

Drank this many times. Had one recently and it really ages well I think. Quite strong, alcohol is definitely detectable. Very strong spice flavors and sweetness. Nice fruityness, like toffee and raisins mixed in with all the belgian spices. Very Nice.

Bottle. Found an odd bottle of this mixed in with the 17’s at a local Bevmo 6 months ago and bought it. Just opened this today, and it is still holding up excellently for a 3 year old bottle. A very warming fruity, estery brew - most enjoyable.

Pours golden brown with a small white head. Aroma is like a sparkling white wine, with notes of light fruits and esters. Flavor is full of light fruits, honey and lightly roasted malts, with a slight warming finish. Very good.

Bottled (75cl, Vasa session). Hazy orange color, floating yeast, small off-white head. Aroma has apricot, Belgian yeast and glue. Quite full-bodied. Quite Belgian or let’s say US-Belgian flavor: fruity yeasts - mango, apricot, orange, candy sugar, syrups ... Alcohol is well-hidden. Typical Unibroue brew, and as usual, good one.

Bottled (thanks omhper!). Hazy golden colour with particles floating around. Head is mediumsized and white. Aroma is pretty much lemon, some slight glueish alcohol, wood and some yeast. Flavour is fruity, lots of peach, some glueish alcohol and caramel malts. Apples and some grassyness in the finish. Fruity, but bittery aftertaste.
