Hazy brown in color w/ a light maltiness on the nose. Pours a tall, thick froth (medium lifespan) w/ Champagne bubbles. Light to medium nectar. Flavors of dry wood, brown sugar (not sweet), a pinch of tobacco with a lemony sour dough tropshire. Leaves a cigar smoked feeling in my mouth. Drinks better as it warms (becomes more mellow). Slight alcohol on the finish. Overall: a sour style that I did enjoy with a tuna roll.

Bottle. Pours a clear bubbly dark reddish-brown with a massive lasting foamy off-white head -- looks like an ice cream float. Aroma of yeast, fruit, spices, sweet malt and mild hops. Nice spicy fruity malt flavour with a mild hoppy finish. Quite carbonated. Very smooth, this goes down really easy. Light to medium bodied. Pretty good, nothing really to complain about.

Bottle Pours a clear brown with a fizzy, creamy light brown head. The head lasts well and has okay lasting. Has a muted sweet aroma. I get a bunch of fruits, Raisins, grapes, plums, and a spicy touch of cherry. Has a lively carbonation and a good flavor. Has a touch of sweet bitterness. A good duration and finish. This is very refreshing.

malt and spice aroma. HUGE frothy off white head on top of a cloudy brownish beer. the biggest head i’ve ever seen. annoying fizzy mouthfeel that actually foams up in your mouth making it difficult to even swallow this stuff. I had to wait a half an hour for the head to go down.

a dark caramel color, foamy head, heavy carbonation for an abbey. taste was good but safe. Not as complex as most abbys are. Decent brew

pours brown with a very large off-white lasting fizzy head. Aroma of belgian style spices, citrusy fruit, sweet malts, and alcohol. Flavor is sweet, fruity, slightly spicey, smooth with some alcohol present, good body, good brew.

Smells like lemongrass, red grapes, mint and tobacco (like menthol cigarettes.) Tastes like Fruit-a-burst gum, some grape kool aid, some lemon, orange, and green apple.
