Rerate: I have to recall my original rate i guess. I still think it is a very nice beer though. Spicy hoppy, floral aroma. More hoppy taste, very triple-like spicy. Original rate: Very nice blond beer, probably one of the better blonds i've had! The high carbonation makes that it looks good all the time while drinking it.

Reddish-chestnut, hazy, w/ thick pockmarked head; aroma of plums and pear brandy, with traces of yeast, alcohol and Special B; alcholic and light, sweet, apple notes jump to the fore of the palate, leading into a malty middle. The finish, however, is harsh - stinging carbonation, a touch too much acidity (or not enough, if that's what they were going for) and no complexity to the malty sweetness. Good, but could do with less CO2, as the malts would be allowed to strut their stuff a little more and the finish would be so much smoother.

A yeasty Belgian ale, similar to De Koninck, but a little spicier, more complex and with more lively carbonation.
