Tap at the Blue Nile. Thanks Al! Aroma of light spice and orange peel. Mildly floral. With a hint of yeast. Pours rich amber with minimal head. Fairly dry on the palate with a nice amount of citrus hops and Belgian yeast. Creamy on the tongue with good carbonation.

Sep 2, 2008 In short: A Belgian ale with an unusual mix of fruity flavours. Far from a classic Dubbel but enjoyable
How: Tap at Blind Tiger Ale House NYC
The look: Murky dark-orange body with almost no head
In long: Some fruity caramel on the nose. The malt foundation is grainy toasted bread crust with a sesame bread sensation. Then a mountain of fruity flavours, the beer is very fruity. Ground cherries, bananas, apricots, Granny Smith apples, pineapples, more… Something about the mix bag of fruity flavours was strange, not unpleasant but just strange. Dry dusty yeast sensation with bubblegum notes. Tasty leafy hops that struggle to find their niche in this busy beer. The beer is highly drinkable and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. However if Victory were aiming at a traditional dubbel (Westmalle, Lost and Found, etc.) then they missed the target like a cross-eyed archer with a bad hiccup.

Jul 30, 2008 Pretty decent, smooth drink. On tap at the Brickstore. Poured a amber/brown color with a decent off white head. Belgian yeast aroma with some fruit as well. Flavor was mainly chewy bready grain adn the finish was a little sweet. Pretty refreshing and easy to drink.

Jul 19, 2008 I enjoyed this beer on draft at Max’s Taphouse in Baltimore. It had a light amber color and a thin white head with low retention. The aroma was sweet and fruity, featuring banana, orange, and caramel tones, and some yeast to balance. The taste was also mostly sweet and fruity, and pleasant. It had a very wet and full mouthfeel, with a watery texture and low carbonation.
