I picked up this beer last week at work(bevmo studio city) and I was really happy I did. The bottle looked interesting and the description on the price tag made the beer sound amazing. The price tag on this beer was also very reasonable($5.49) especially for the quality of beer you get.
This beer is a Belgian style trappist tripel ale. It comes in an 11.2 oz bottle and it contains 9.5% alcohol. It suggest that you serve this beer around 45-50 degrees and in a Belgian style beer goblet. let me tell you that the right glass did make a difference on this beer,I served a third of this beer into a pint glass and the rest into my goblet and I got two different tasting beers, so do use the proper glass wear when recommended.
Appearance: it pours with an orange hue and with a light foamy head. Also very dense in appearance.
Nose: Citrus! wow if you like those smells you'll be in heaven. The smells of fresh orange come alive and with it strong scents of ripe orange peal. other fruit is evident but hard to narrow down and the slightest scents of wood hit the nose at the end.
Finish: tremendous finish. Sweet on the palate without being syrupy or sugary. complex and layered going down.
Notes: The high alcohol is not evident and that is a good sigh=n from a well crafted belgian ale. Great beer to pair with sea food and or chicken. also a very good fall beer to be enjoyed with thanksgiving foods.
