Pours rusty-amber with a medium off-white head. Nose is fruity and sweet with a little hops and alcohol. Flavor is very red apple dominated and overwhelmingly sweet, to a slight excess. Alcohol is well hidden. Finish is slightly hopped and quite sweet with a sugary feeling. Decent but could use a tone-back on the sweetness.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Really a very good Belgian offering from Victory. Pours a medium caramel color, with a light tan, but quickly fading head. Head leaves a thin film atop the beer, looking as if it were expelled by the think liquid. Nose is malt with a touch of carmelization, and yeast, with strong notes of sweet fruit, notably banana. Flavors are full and rich, beginning with sweet, malty, fruity flavors and fading with a moderate bitterness. Lingers well on the palate. A very fine offering from Pennsylvania’s Victory!
