Feb 21, 2008 Pours a semi cloudy honey yellow with a thick layer of white head. Aroma is of citrus (more lemony/orange) and yeast. Flavor is definitely sweet with each yeast-filled sip. Fruits/citrus, malt and hints of spice (clove). Body is medium thickness (perfect body for this ale). Definitely surprised by this ale--pleasantly so. Thank God for Beligian Ales and Belgium :)

Feb 20, 2008 Pours a yellow/amber. Decent seafoam head. Smells of fresh bread with a hint of citrus. Flavor is pretty damn impressive. Sharp sweet malt, orange hard candy. Then goes to a doughy and lastlty quick hop finish. Great stuff. Even though I hate pirates, I’ll drink it again soon.

Feb 19, 2008 I think I’m coming to the conclusion that I really don’t love Belgian Strong Ales. American Strong Ales yes, but not BSA’s, at least not as much as they cost. This one’s decent but not something I’d go out of my way to find.
