3rd time trying to type this review. I keep getting logged out because I am away for too long or something. I suppose I am too busy to review beers, but not sure when or if I can ever buy this beer again

A- A clear copper amber, 2 fingers of head, and lots of lace. impressive

S - Lots of belgian yeast and candy sugar

T - Like the smell, sweet belgian candy, yeast, and fruits

M - Crisp, smooth.

O - Such a well balanced and excellent beer. High ABV is well hidden, which is impressive for a 9.7% abv brew. Well done, will be buying this one again

I picked up this 22oz brown bottle at the Binny's store in Bloomingdale, IL. I don't know why it was in the discontinued bin, but it was a steal at $2.99 a bottle, so I bought one. No freshness date that I could find.

The beer poured a hazy caramel color with some sediment at the bottom. Two finger white head that dissipated quickly and left only minimal lacing.

Strong apricot smell with some spiciness underneath.

Fruity and spicy like the nose suggested, with apricot/orange being the dominant fruit flavor. Nice malty backbone but nicely balanced with 3 different hops. Not very bitter at just 24 IBU's, but the hops are still noticeable.

Smooth, medium bodied mouthfeel with moderate carbonation.

I liked this one a lot.

Attractive golden amber in the tall Stella glass. Plenty of foam. This has a distinctive weird taste from the first sip that is exactly like fermenting fruit. Slightly sweet. There is a taste like a dry Cherry Heering liqueur.

Tart in the aftertaste with some apricot kernel bitterness. sort of a funky Belgian yeast flavor with the usual drying effect. Otherwise this is not vey beery. It's some sort of fruit-flavored malt beverage. From the 22 oz bottle bought at Olive Tree Market in Ocean Beach.
