look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

Found this beer in a small grocery store in Kalaeloa, HI. There is only a couple of bottles there at any time and by the afternoon they are gone. At $4.59 a bottle it caught my interest.

Great picture of Fr. Damien on the lable.
Poured into a glass with a 2" creamy tan head.
Head quickly disappeared with no lacing. Brown body that you cannot see through.
Aroma: Complex, malt, yeast, fruit
Taste: Smooth, no bitterness. There is very little carbonation.
Alc/Vol 7%
After taste: Pleasant and smooth. There is something that tickles the back of the throat.
A good beer for a great saint.

Serving type: bottle

4/5  rDev +0.8%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Appearance: Light brown - ruby color with a good amount of off white head.

Smell: Has a floral bouquet along with some spices.

Taste & Mouthfeel: Good amount of malt flavor along with some darker fruit flavors. Thin to medium mouthfeel with the abv well-hidden.

Overall: As the label says, "Is it right to honor a saint with a beer? When he's from Belgium, most certainly.." Picked this up because of the novelty factor, but enjoyed it so much that I'm going to buy some more.
