Can I just say, the rosemary makes this brew smell and taste like watered down beef stew. For me I just couldn't get past that taste. You can call interesting but I call it terrible.

This one pours a dark-ish yellow color, with a small fizzy head and lots of lacing.

This is basically just a kind of stale malty sweetness here, with nothing that would really indicate it's a patersbier, or really Belgian in any way.

This has a bit of clove, but it's just mainly a weird sort of sweetness that I don't love. I wouldn't really expect Magic Hat to do this well, and I guess was right.

This is light bodied, and at least fairly crisp, with a somewhat stale finish.

There's nothing really to recommend here.

Drank from a 12 ounce can.

Appearance: red-brown clear color, 1” head, some minor lacing.

Smell: subtle malty.

Taste: clove, subtle malty and smooth.

Mouth Feel: finely carbonated, light creamy, smooth.

A drinkable beer. Too much clove flavor for my liking. I would not purchase again.

Worst beer I've ever drank. Tastes like liquid rosemary. I'd rather drink Collette (which tastes like rotten meat, raisins, and pennies).

Pours a dark amber with a cream colored head that hangs around and leaves a nice trail of lace.

Smells of rosemary, honey, biscuit malt, and floral and bitter herb hops.

Taste is a big punch of rosemary flowing into honey biscuit malt backbone. It finishes dry with bitter herb and floral notes.
