The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

Bottled. Pale amber coloured. Slightly fruity aroma. Very sweet flavour of honey and malt. Bland.

Very sweet brew! Brown sugar and caramel combined in flavour and finish. Slightly alcoholic palate. Too sweet in the aftertaste.

First off, love the bottle - looks like a lighthouse - or maybe a baby bottle? Aroma has a slight licorice bent to it, otherwise, nothing really jumps out - not unpleasant. Light amber appearance, with a very thin white head. Flavor has some candy sweet notes to it with some syrupy sweetness. Good sticky mouthfeel, coats your mouth and your belly. Overall, a decent light Belgian Ale.

An interesting and nice straw malt aroma. Dry, tart, a bit astringent, some bocky qualities. A brooding back-malt on and edgy alcohol palate. Good light bronze coloring. Gotta give them props on the bottle, but it came off looking like a baby bottle or a big brown glass condom.
