Dec 28, 2005 Updated: Jan 2, 2006Pours a light reddish-brown with a generous, tan head that fades quickly. Very little aroma, a bit of light plum and caramel perhaps. Smooth, drinkable, but thin and somewhat dry finish with no hop character to be found.

Dec 11, 2005 The aroma only offers a mild wheat smell. The color is between beaver brown and tea brown. A small head and minimal lacing is all that is produced. The taste consists of a mild mixture of wheat, malt, and ethanol but it does linger well.

Dec 9, 2005 Bottle. Golden in color with a nice fluffy tan head. Fruity and hoppy aroma. Banana notes. Malty yeasty and hoppy flavor. Caramel notes. Well balanced. Finish is malty. Interesting and complex. Nice beer.

Dec 5, 2005 Updated: Oct 20, 2006Rerate! Best before 23MAR07, 12oz. Pours a slightly hazy brownish orange with a one and a half finger, creamy light beige head. Aroma actually has a little unsweetened cocoa in it, as well as some figs and prunes, raisins. There is also a fair amount of Belgian yeastiness and candy sugar. Some ripe bananas too. Flavor is a little more tart than the aroma leads on--otherwise, the taste follows the aroma. Has a dusty dry finish. Medium bodied and moderate carbonation--a little sharper than what I wanted--and not quite as creamy as the Chimay red label. Nice lacing. Quite tasty.
Old rating follows.12oz. bottle, best before05May06. Aroma of bubblegum/bananas and yeast. pours a clear amber with mod sized, mostly diminishing head. For only 7% ABV, I get some alcohol, and tastes how it smells--also some earthy hay and some sweetness. Well balanced, leaning a little to the malty side. 6-3-7-3-15

Dec 3, 2005 I think this is my first rating of an abbey souble. aroma was of yeast and bubblegum. the pour was brown with a fluffy foamy tan head. taste is sugary sweet with some caramel in the background. a little too sweet and fizzy for me to drink this on a regular basis. thanks to heemer for the bottle.
