On tap at the brewery. Uhh, this isn’t a dubbel. Not a tripel either. It may be an abbey ale of some sort, but that would make it a Belgian Strong since it’s really not fitting into a style. Anyway, Golden orange color, thin rign of tiny bubbles. Yeasty with notes of pear, banana, and apple, light spice. Medium creamy body, very light alcohol, some dryness. Good stuff, I was pleasantly surprised.

20070113 Tap at HDG Daze. Thin bodied, cardboard, floral, grainy. Honey sweetness. Redeeming grassiness but pretty lame all around.

On tap @ the brew pub: Pours a clear copper color with an off white head. Aroma, spices and lots of them, cloves, and yeast. Flavor, spices, again almost overpowering, some alcohol, yeasty, and doughy. Not bad.

Sampled from a growler @ DLD 4/28/07. Poured a clear golden color with a small eggshell head. Aroma is fruity and malty. The flavor has sweet malt, fruit, and spices. This wassomewhat interesting. Light mouthfeel. The alcohol (8%) is well hidden.

Parking lot of FFF’s on DL day from a growler. A nice golden pour with a light off white gooy lace. An aroma of Belgian yeast kinda corrianderish. A nice maltiness that lends to the overall complexity of this beer. A hint of bitter on the finish. I’m surprised to see that it was 8%.
