Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Clear amber in color with a frothy tan head. Aroma is absolutely delicious: cloves, bananas, coriander and honey. Flavor delivers, following through with honey and cloves and adding nuances of cinnamon and nutmeg for spicing. Light, clean, sweet and smooth. Delicately balanced. Finishes with cloves and mild pepper. Nice Belgian amber ale. Pu
pours a hazy amber color with a big off white head, aromas of citrus, belgian style spices, yeast & malt. the taste is sweet and a small amount of spice present as well as fruit, good beer.
[750 ml bottle] Pours a clear amber, with a decent head. Aroma is citrus, cloves and other spices. Has a good spice to it as well as a smooth finish. I definitely enjoy this brew.
