I don’t think this was a very good style in a state that’s still restricted to 6% or less. That said, I have 2 reviews. My first taste was of a clear, copper/gold beer that wasn’t sweet enough and had very little Belgian spiciness. The hops were tasty but too pronounced for the style. Then someone shook the keg to see how much was left and roused the yeast which had settled to the bottom. What a difference! Sure it was cloudy but now it was spicy and much closer to style. I wish I’d tasted THIS beer first.

Draught. Small thin head--better head later when not served in a frosted mug! Maltynose, spice and yeast noted. Copper colored, very slight haze. Flavor is malty, but not all that well mixed. Spice is prevalent in flavor. Finish is slightly astringent and there is bitterness in the middle. A strange one to pick considering the 6% NC abv law.
