This was decent, though I'm not crazy about the style. Cloudy orange color with decent head. Yeasty, with a sour fruit flavor.

Beer number 500 and , quite by chance, I was privileged to bag it in the congenial company of Silk Tork, Spiesy, Rauchbier, John White (of whitebeertravels.com) and various of their partners and friends. As to the beer, it was gold/orange in colour. The aromas and flavours included apples, oranges and peaches. Apples dominated. Unfortunately, although there was a little compensating acidity, it was just a little too sweet for my palate. Draught, Wenlock Arms, London N1.

Bronze with a lovely lively head. Aromas are caramel and pears with spices and a yeast mustiness. Flavours are fruity malts, pear drop sweets with a citrus tang. Has the typical foam in the mouth mouthfeel of a trappist beer.

(Bottled) Slightly hazy, deep golden color with a small but lasting head. Grainy-alcoholic, fruity, honey-apple-sweet, yeasty aroma (a bit like European Strong lagers, especially without yeast). The flavor is drier than expected - quite neutral, actually - malty, slightly cardboardy and moderately fruity. Some alcohol can be felt, and the finish is acidic - surprisingly this only shows with yeast poured in. Has some wheatiness and witbier spices. Medium-bodied, quite neutral palate with balanced carbonation. Not a very memorable brew, and certainly not at the quality level you’d expect from a trappist.

Quite clear, golden body. White, creamy head, quite lacing and mostly lasting. Sweet, yeasty aroma, also some maltiness. Lightly sweet, lightly bitter initial flavour. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet finish, which is long-lasting, but not intense.

Hazy orangy-gold. Moderately creamy white head. Fresh, yeasty bubble gum & banana aroma. Medium-full bodied w/ good carbonation. Malty & fruity up front, somewhat vinous & sharp in the middle, finish is all alcohol. Flavours could be integrated better.
