O: It's a good Belgian style, but North Americans need to realize they still ain't as good as a true Belgian!

Great looker. Would give this a ten if it were black. Hazy yellow with a huge head and laces most of the glass. Weird aroma, floral and cat pee or yeast. Nice and fruity flavour. Lemon, grapefruit, pine, floral a hint of spice with a sweet malt backbone. Medium to full smooth mouthfeel. Good stuff but would like to have it in smaller bottles.

Sainte-réserve 2010. Pours a slight hazy, rich golden colour with a huge creamy warm cap that has great retention and lacing. This one does not look like it cellars well, as I do not feel the grapefruit notes (from the hop). Still, pretty good. Fruity aromas with lots of malts, herbs Belgian Ale yeast and a little alcohol. The taste is pretty sweet at first, with nice apples in the middle and the hop showing up in the finish, giving this one a little bitterness. Like Pootz wrote, reminds me of a Duvel. Maybe a little better.

750ml crown capped bottle: poured a hazed honey gold with a massive white meringue cap that lasts the drink out. Natural carbonation is spritzy. Aroma has succulent fruits and citrus over some earthy honey sweetness and grassy hopping. Flavor is a complex mix of tart and sweet fruitiness, some rich cereal notes, honey, spicy sharp hopping all tied up in a tart, dry, hoppy character. Finish is bright, sharp, clean and resinous with peppery mouth feel from ample effervescence. A great Belgian light strong ale, Duvel look out!

One of several Charlevoix bottles picked up in a trade recently. very tripel like in character. Color is a cloudy gold, head is white, bubbly, and generous. The hopping of this beer was quite generous as well with west coast hops flooding out upon opening. Spices and yeast were also present. Flavor is extremely well balanced between the malt, yeast, and citrus. I would certainly recommend.

Poured a pale yellow colour, big foamy bubbly head. Pretty good lacing, head sticks around for a while. Has a nice malty and hoppy aroma, hint of grapefruits and oranges. The flavour is great with a mixture of grapefruit, lemon, yeast, light malts and citrus. Sweet and tangy mouthfeel. For an abv of 10%, it is not noticeable at all. Quite deceiving, but no complaints. Well, maybe a bit pricey, but the wine-looking bottle is nice. Damn good!

The beer poured a hazy medium with a long lasting fluffy white head. The aroma is yeast, citrusy hops, and grains. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, and slightly champagny. The flavour is yeast, and notes of grapefruit. Very well done.

Tremendous head and decent lacing, pale caramel colour, smooth yet hoppy with a slightly bitter finish. Nicely balanced, lightly spiced. It's subtle yet quite complex, Amarillo, simcoe, saaz, slightly fruity, pear especially. Hop profile is impressive, slightly floral, Unibroue-esque yeast flavour. A little subdued, boring even, but beautifully balanced. It's a jazz album, and a very good one, but the kind your old man listens to.

I really want to like this beer, but its been hot out all day and the yeast is kicking me in the face! Aroma, all spicy yeast, some sourdough, but mostly ginger cookie and coriander seed and yeast/citrus. YEAST! After forcing myself to really wade through all that yeast I find a surprisingly bitter IPA style hoppyness. The amarillos are obvious, its good, then the yeast comes back and kicks me. This is either way to young or its way too hot out. Clearly a well made beer but didnt fit the circumstance. Trying to find the malt flavour profile and I cant much, seems a bit wet, and medium bodied. I find it bloating. I can appreciate the quality but I cannot ever see myself buying this again without the intention of many years aging.
