This one should be a go to. Like, ordering a double meat, w/ onion, mustard instead of spread, add chile pepper at In N Out, go to. Like a Josephine Skriver centerfold, there is nothing wrong with this thing. Luscious, supple, buxom...

Pop the cap and give it a pour, my children. It doesn’t get better than this.

Very nice beer! Very fragrant: sweet, floral and fruity. The taste is of fruit like rich pears with a delicate sweetness. Nice honey notes. Beautiful head and lacing atop a slightly cloudy yellow body.

This is one of those beers that sometimes makes you think you should just stick with the classics!

Poured into a tulip glass. Three fingers of head that lasts and lasts. Beautiful color- slightly cloudy, golden, opaque. Smell has clove and banana, some biscuit. First thing to hit the tongue is a bit of fruit. Reminds me of a hefe. Alcohol is well hidden here. Slightly warming aftertaste. And is that grapefruit? Mouthfeel is well balanced, not too carbonated or watery. Did I mention this is a beautiful beer? Reminds me of Duvel but tastes a bit lighter, believe it or not. This was an outstanding drink. Wish I could afford to have it more often.

Damn this is good and just pure joy and happiness. Amazing head. Large, white and lasts forever--very tasty too. Beer looks like god's piss, like liquid gold and just a bit hazy (god has good piss). Tastes like apples, pears with a hoppy IPA-like grapefruit finish. Just lovely stuff.

Poured into a tulip glass. Golden and hazy in the glass. A billowing white head with great retention and lacing. The aroma featured the yeast, floral esters, clove, and candy. Bright flavors on the palate: some bubblegum, slight banana, and some clove. Rock candy finish. Dry and medium bodied. Outstanding.

Reviewed on 04/14/18, best by date on label 12/04/18 . Poured into a goblet at 50 degrees. Aroma was typically bready and yeasty with various spicy tones my nasal abilities could not really pinpoint. Two fingers of foam that dispersed to a white film by the finish , not much lacing. Very well balanced so , nothing , not alcohol , malt , hops or my imagination dominated. There was a slight tartness and i believe a peppery after taste, or, was that my imagination? Anyway I love this , and , I think I need to do a head to head with Chimay Cinq ,just for fun.
