| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 28, 2008 750 corked and caged batch 41 poured into a trappist glass. It has a golden amber color and a foamy white head that fell to a ring. aroma has Belgian yeast, banana, pear, apple, and a little grass. mouth feel is medium and the carbination is high. flavor has more spice on the yeast side, banana, light bitterness, and some citrus from the hops popping in. I like the sturdy carbonation and the finish goes dry with some lingering bitterness and yeast. watson1977 (273), , Pennsylvania, USA
