Sampled on draft at Max’s Taphouse in a trappist glass. I chose this beer to close out the day, and got more than I had anticipated. It had a good aroma, mostly with fruity malt, with noticeable pear notes, and some yeastiness. The color was a rich gold, that was mostly clear, with an average-sized foamy white head. The flavor was mostly sweet, only slightly bitter and sour. It had a lively mouthfeel, with a good fizzyness and wetness.

Pours burnished gold with a big pillowing fluffy tan head and an effervescent body. Aroma of yeast esters, notes of pear, honey, and spicy citrus. Taste is lightly sweet and fruity, with pear and notes of crackery toasted malt. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with a light and pleasing malt stickiness. Carbonation is foamy and aggressive, not quite as gentle and restrained as some of the finer Belgian ales.

[Sampled in 2003.] A fresh, little yeasty and fruity in the spicy way beer. Complex aroflavor with notes of banana, alcohol, raisin. A good beer just below Westmalle.

Bottle at the Winking Lizard - Pours golden with a pretty good sized white head that stayed well. Aromas of yeast, spice and some pear. Flavors of pear, apple, yeast, and pale malts. Fair carbonation and a light body make this very drinkable. Not bad..

This one comes as Olivier Poussier, but it’s the same beer and brewed at Affligem. Warm golden, nice big head. The aroma is fruity and malty, and the flavour is lightly sweet with fruity notes of apple and citrus in the finish. Ordinary. 1708
