Sort of a semi-sweet malt aroma. Flavor had a pale malt texture to it. A litte watery, not much body. No real distingishable characteristics. Bland and dry to the end. Looking forward to this beer but a big waste of the palate.

[At BJ’s in Boulder, Colorado] A clear dark orange beer with no head. The aroma is sweet malty with hints of caramel and alcohol. The flavor contains notes of alcohol, yeast, spices, and nutmeg, leading to a dry hoppy end. Not bad, just not interesting.

Had this on a couple different occasions at the BJ's in Boulder, CO. Just found my "weathered" notes. Overall, I enjoyed the beer, even though it was rather mild. Had a mild clove-like aroma with an underlying banana sweetness. Light, bread-dough malts. Would've liked to see more aggressive hops to balance out the sweetness, but that's just me. As far as light, easy-to-drink Belgians go, this one is pretty good.

Draught. Body is hazy medium amber. Aroma is moderately malty (cookie, caramel), lightly yeasty (cobwebs), with notes of banana and clove. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, watery (almost syrupy) texture, lively carbonation. Pleasant, sweetish Belgian-styled amber ale.

Was hoping for something similar to the Grand Cru and was very disappointed. Dark brown pour, thin tan head. Medium body and very little distinguishing flavor.
