| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 17, 2009 Poured a clear, medium copper colour with a prolific foamy white head which produced some excellent lacing, some of the best I’ve ever seen. Aroma was very delicate, being barely floral along with some spices and fruit. Taste was fruity, I’m guessing perhaps apricot or plum perhaps, with a slight sweetness. ben4321 (1060), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 30, 2009 Location: Had this one at a few different places, last time I believe was a few months back on tap at a bar in NYC
Overall Impression:
It is an alright example of the Belgian Ale style, but there are better ones out there. The good news here is mostly about availability and price, not so much the beer itself. Take that for what it is.
