A: Served a hazy copper color with a small head that fades to bits of lacing.

S: Aroma of fruit, coriander, spices bit of malt sweetness and grain.

T: Mixed flavor of fruit and mild malt sweetness, spices with a bit of grain. There is a pleasant bitterness in the background with a dry finish.

F: Medium body, smooth with no hint of the 6.6 ABV.

Nice drinker that goes down easy. My favorite of the HHH offerings.

My personal favorite of the HHH lineup the week that I drank at this establishment. Wish the Farmhouse was on tap as well. The Grand Cru poured a cloudy straw / orange color with a quickly fading head. The nose was very light and had hints of mild spice / dried fruit. The mouthfeel was medium weight and a bit slick. The beer has a lovely taste, similar to its nose; it tastes slightly of winter spices, grain, and dried fruit. In some ways it reminds me of North Coast Prankster or a heavier version of an Abbey Triple. I drank more Grand Cru than any other beer during the trip.

3.45/5  rDev +0.3%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
Appearance: Pours a hazy, copper-hued body with a smallish, off-white head.

Smell: Lightly grainy, vaguely sweetish nose bathed in richly-scented spices.

Taste: Mildly grainy, mildly tangy, and mildly sweet wheat flavor upfront. A touch floral and fruity, then it's on to the distinct spices: lemongrass, earthy coriander, and particularly punchy grains of paradise. All of the various tastes meld well enough as you transition into a dry finish.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.

Drinkability: A decent Belgian-style beer packed with spices. The strong nature of the spices keeps this one a slow sipper speed.
