The beer pours a very murky gold colour with a long lasting head that laces well. The cap is an off-white colour. The aroma is yeast, citrus, grains, candy sugar, and spices. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The spiciness comes through in the flavour, along with a definite hoppiness, rounded out by the grains and some honey sweetness. Similar to last weekend’s St. Bernardus Extra 4, but better.

Best before end: 12/2017. Hazy light-golden colour, yellowish, with a creamy white cap, long retention and thick lacing. Beautiful aromas with spices over the citrus notes and sweet yeast. The taste is on the hoppy side with grassiness, but mildly bitter and not dry at all. Reminds me of a Belgian Saison.

Pours a huge frothy creamy white head and has a hazy golden appearance with some tiny sediments visible. Leaves some thick dirty lacing. Aromas of Belgian yeast, oranges, some other citrusy notes. Flavours are fruity, yeasty some subtle spice notes, sweet but not too much. Full bodied mouthfeel. Great retention. Easy to drink and fairly smooth. Good stuff.

Hard little bugger to find - purchased at The Beer Trappe in Lexington, KY. Been on my wish list since 2008. Really. Murky light brown pour, slight head, some lacing. Light spiced aroma and flavors, requisite Belgian yeasts, light body and mouthfeel, some floral and citrus. Underwhelming but as a personal WHite Whale, still satisfying. Another one marked off the list...

Poured into the Chimay chalice with a cloudy yellow gold body topped by a medium sized white head leaving light lace. Aroma is clove and Belgian yeast with some light banana coming through also. Mouthfeel is very expansive and rich while being very drinkable. Flavor is sweet and smooth with light hops, candi sugar, banana and spices.

Pours hazy light golden yellow with a nice white head. Aroma is Farmhouse with spice. Flavor is like a mild triple with yeast and spice. Just the right amount of grass and funk.

This poured a dark golden color with a white head. The aroma is a tad bit yeasty with some lemons and spices. The flavor is rather watery with a hint of lemons in there. Overall this is very one dimensional like a belgian on training wheels. Apparently this is difficult to find, but stick with the other 3 from Chimay IMO. Boring
