Clear amber/golden body with a small off-white head, fading. The nose is sweet and fruity with toffee, caramel, banana, clove and raisins. The flavor is lightly/moderately sweet with a light bitterness and bananas, pear, prune, clove and coriander. Medium body is soft with moderate, tight carbonation.

Jul 16, 2008 I thought this beer was very smooth and traditional. It tasted like bubble gum, untart apples, and some roasted bread. Very nice beer, I can see drinking this one in session despite its slightly higher alcohol.

Jun 7, 2008 A nice dubbel, though I wouldn’t classify it as such. Aroma was decent. Yeast, burnt caramel in the front with a hint of fruit. Pour was a light bubbly gold with a nice 3 finger white head. Taste was like burnt caramel, yeast and heavy carbonation. Nice drying bitey aftertaste. Very strange, but pretty good.

May 21, 2008 Yummm! It’s true, this beer is not like a Dubbel... it is like a Tripel, but with less alcohol! Golden with light-moderate carbonation and a fruity, syrupy flavor. It’s like Maredsous 10 Lite...

May 16, 2008 Tap at The Diamond: Nothing about this is like a Dubbel. Pours a deep golden with a dense off-white head. The aroma has some mild herbal notes with hints of bread-crust, honey and Belgian esters. The mouthfeel has dense carbonation with some spicy phenols in the flavor. Herbal hints as well, with a touch of bubblegum, but not too sweet. The finish has a moderately spicy bitterness. Not bad, but not a Dubbel.
