Nov 20, 2008 On tap at OTH.
Pours hazy gold, white head.
Taste / aroma, fruity, yeasty with some nice sugary notes, and caramel malts. There are some nice underlying nice dark fruits notes that are very subtle.
A great unique Trappist beer.
Goes nicely with some Chimay cheese.

Nov 1, 2008 Goodn’. Pour was cloudy orange/yellow. Smell had light fruits (strong banana and orange) sorta nutty. Flavors the same, banana, orange, citrus, and caramel. All balanced well with the carbonation. Stuff can be difficult to find. Can only get it where I live in the sampler pack with the glass (white glass that is).

Nov 1, 2008 Presentation: It was poured from a stubby brown 11.2oz bottle into a signature Chimay chalice that came with the gift set.
Appearance: It has a slightly hazy, peachy golden colored body with a thick, heavenly, white and foamy head. It is supported by an active carbonation and it very slowly recedes to a much thinner creamy layer of foam that leaves behind sticky white lacing.
Smell: The aroma has delicate fruity character with dry yeast notes and a just a hint of medicinal phenols and hops in the distance.
Taste/Mouth feel: The flavor has mellow fruity notes of Muscat, golden raison and apple mixing with pale malted grain and dry earthy yeast. Hop flavor is mild but adds a mild slash of herbal spice and mellow bitterness. Its 8%abv is well hidden but adds to the overall complexity and smooth rounded mouth feel. It finishes with some light phenol flavors and mild spicy hops fading off the tongue. Its texture has perfect carbonation and a nice rounded feel with a medium body that is very drinkable and sophisticated.
Notes: I love Trappist beers and this is an absolute joy to drink. Monks Rock!!!

Nov 1, 2008 I tasted this beer before I got my account with ratebeer, so I can’t really remember all the flavors.

Oct 31, 2008 Bottle pours hazy copper with thin white head. Nice carbonation and aroma is bread and malt. First taste is sweet but very well balanced with a carbonation burn.

Oct 31, 2008 330 ml bottle - thanks to matt7215 for the trade; pours hazy, burnt orange; frothy white head lingers; floral aromas of spice, colander; raw and sharp; light and bitter; a little fizzy with sharp carbonation; texture leaves something to be desired; pretty nice overall
