Freshest by June 21st 2024. From Beer Drop.
Pours a clear deep amber with a small head of foam, very little lacing.
The smell is Belgian spices, yeast, cherries, more spices.
The taste is yeasty, cloves, cherries both tart and sweet (honey), massive spiciness, heat from the alcohol, big big flavours, not all of them to my liking. Especially the allspice and cloves.
Medium bodied, good carbonation.
I have another can that will be sitting for a while.

12 ounce can. This version comes in at 8.2% ABV. Bright amber orange pour. Large, dense beige head slowly dissipates to a manageable cap. Slightly sweet, malty aroma has yeasty, spicy notes. Flavor is clean and dry. Smooth and approachable. Some warming alcohol on the backend. Tasty.

Can. Poured a slightly cloudy yellow color with a small off-white head. Aroma was zesty lemon. Big citrus. Light resin, tropical fruit. A good, mostly balanced beer, or at least balanced for 2023. Would drink again.
