I pulled this out of my cellar, after having it in there for about four months. Popping the top resulted in a quick, but not explosive, gusher, only a little run over the side.
Poured a deep, clear amber with a bubbily fizzy head that quickly dissipated down to almost soda-pop like effect.
Taste is muted, tastes like a belgian, nothing spectacular there. Though it was terribly fizzy... and that's not something I really go for in belgians.
Overall impression. I wish the head retention was better, this beer would be better served with a sticky-fluffy-white-head instead of a soda-pop fizzbomb. Aside from that, the taste was there. I will get this again, but I think it needs a bit of work.

It took a few drinks, then I realized I must have been drinking this beer way to cold because I wasn't getting any of the flavors.
The pour is a clear golden amber, and the taste is very muted at first but the flavor comes out in the end. Very sessionble.

Dark golden. Mild Belgian smell. Over powering bubblegum taste

Amber color with average head. Generally the sense I got was of the aromas and flavors of belgian yeasts combined with american hops varieties. Enjoyable but lacked the complexity or distinct flavors that would make it stand out. I should caveat that I'm not too familiar with belgian styles.
