LearninBeer (194), Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA Nov 6, 2009 Pours a light yellow/orange, off-white creamy head, mostly diminishing, good lacing. The aroma is yeasty, mold, stale same as their IPA. The flavor is refreshing, I guess it’s spice, kinda light easy to drink as there’s not a whole lot going on. Rustyham (545), miami, Florida, USA Nov 3, 2009 Decent malty blonde, a lot like leffe, but the plate is too thin and wispy. I could probably down a few of these, but I don’t see a reason to. Bottle from Total Wine and Spirits, Naples, Florida. McGarnigle (303), Rochester, New York, USA Nov 3, 2009 Bottle drink by Dec 09. Slightly hazy gold pour, very little head. Crackling carbonation. Tastes of citrus, coriander and slight tartness. Summer-ish brew that flatters itself to call it an Abbey single. MrBunn (1521), Western, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 2, 2009 Bottle. Pours a nice amber with a decent head that dies fairly quickly. Aromas have a bit of spice and topsoil with a little bit of cat pee or something a little off. Flavor certainly has a nice edge of spices... fennel, sage and coriander come to mind, but I’m not exactly an encyclopedia on the subject. A little bit of a honey sweet maltiness weaves its way through the spices. This is a little watery and not very interesting. It’s not bad, just not compelling. Cruzan59 (197), Lititz, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 28, 2009 12oz bottle trade (thanks Dusty!)...cloudy yellowish-gold pour with a small white head...light fruit aroma...rather dank taste...not much there...some spice, some citrus...mostly blah...I don’t get it... chriso (4683), London, Greater London, England Oct 22, 2009 On tap at Kinsale Irish Pub, Boston MA, 2 October 2009. Clear gold colour. I wasn’t at all sure what this was supposed to be. Not much happening. Very little aroma. A little sweet fruity bubblegum and hints of spicy yeast in the flavour. Presumably Belgian style. Nothing particularly wrong, but not much to it.
