Bottle. Pours a clear copper color with a medium rising off white head. The aroma is citrus and a light spice. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is a light malt with lime notes and easy to drink. A good wheat ale from Coors, but not too much going on with it besides the lime.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a caramel-amber color with a very large tan head. The aroma was sweet, tangy and a bit tart. The flavor was sweetish, tangy and had a hint of caramel. The finish was long and tangy.

No orange slice, thankfully. Hazy glowing golden color with a medium, thick head. Lightly spicey, sweet malts, citrus fruits. Flavor is sweet malts, orange and citrus fruit, and a touch of spice. Smooth body. Nothing special, but it is refreshing and readily available. I would drink this all night over the normal macros.

Pour is a amber with a large white head. Aroma is hard to come by but i do get some dark malts along with a burnt sugar. Flavor is again burnt sugar and lots of it along with some caramel malts. No where near a Belgian style beer as there is no pronounced yeast or fruits of any kind.

On draught at Winking Lizard in Columbus. Pours a clear copper color with a medium thin and foamy off-white head that dissipates steadily. Sticky patches of lacing. Mild aroma of grain, spice and fruit. Light effervescent body with a subtle malt and spice character. Light nuts and dough in the flavor as well. The finish is mildly spiced and leaves a nutmeg and malt aftertaste. Does not meet my expectation of what an Abbey Dubbel should be, but does meet my expectation of Coors’ expectation of what an Abbey Dubbel should be.

Now I’m not sure if this really qualifies as an abbey dubbel! Twist off the lid of this 12 oz bottle and you get an off aroma, a little like something is rotten in Denmark. Background smells of permanent hair treatment my mom used to use. Filtered clear near ruby iced tea color. Taste is Ok, but come on, how can this macro be compared to fine Belgie abbey doubbles? This may be in the same boat as unrefined american immoes but compared to Corsendonk? No way. Anyway, this beer has a little spice and it is not too bitter. Decently friendly on the palate. For some reason, I was expecting some kind of wheat beer, my baddy. Overall not too bad, but I can’t help thinken about Corsy Brown while drinken this. I wish this was in a different category. Finish is accepatable and has some manners. No lingering bitter taste but that off aroma carries thru down to the finish. Should this be classified as an american dark lager?

Bottle. Yeasty brown sugar malt and light metallic aroma. Amber color with giant tan head. Sweet bronw sugar and bitter flavor with metallix aftertaste. Light body (medium body for Coors). Not that good especially as a dubbel.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber color with a medium frothy off white head. The aroma is very malty and grainy. Decent lacing on this one leaving traces. The taste is a caramel malt with a spicy finish but too watery. I dont know why this is labeled an abbey.
