Thanks EDA. Deep amber in color with a nice head. Sweet, spicey aroma. Spicey hoppy flavor. Citrusy. Fruity. Malty finish. Full bodied. Very complex. Drinkable. Very nice beer.

Thanks to CaptainCougar. Poured a hazy golden amber with an off white head. Aroma is sweet, spicy, clove, and buttery diacetyl. Spicy flavor and medium body. For me diacetyl hurts a beer a good bit.

Pours a clear copper brown with a frothy off-white head. Has a musty, earthy, semi-sweet, peppery aroma with some butterscotch and cooked vegetables. Starts earthy, dry and bittersweet with a nicely spiced semi-tart balance. FInishes dry and mildly warming. A nice replica of the Belgian style but could be a little more complex with less diacetyl. Thanks to slob for the trade!

This red-bodied beer pours with a large head. The aroma is brightly citrusy along with a bit of banana. The malt in the flavor is fairly dry.

Amber to a deep red hue. Tall, frothy, off-white head. Huge butterscotch/diacetyl aroma. Alcohol, banana, pineapple, caramel. Moderately sweet, moderately acidic flavor becomes a lightly sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Slightly oxidized. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, moderate alcohol. The bottom line is: too much diacetyl and alcohol.

Bottle: Poured light briwn with a fizzy off white head. Diacetyl nose with mild vinegar notes. Big carbonation. Buttery flavor with mild Belgian yeast qualities. Short finish.

This was probably the best beer sampled at McKenzie’s. It had a reddish orange appearance with a fair amount of head. It was a little bit on the thin side but flavorful nonetheless. I tasted cherries, raisins, grapes, and some light citrus notes. Pretty good example of the style.

Pours a rusty amber with a huge head that fades slowly. Aroma of hay, spice, slight barnyard, and mild dark fruit. Flavor is a blend of elegant fruit, malts, wheat, sugar, and tea like hops. Interesting and different. Rich but light and drinkable.
