3.95/5  rDev -4.4%
look: 5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Appearance- so much going on in the appearance of this beer, its murky and cloudy yet can see alot of really beautiful bubbles streaming sharply, tan lacing remains on top beer, great appearance

Smell- light spice apples citrus and yeast,

Taste- starts up front with citrus and and sweetness that is very nicely tamed out by spices on the back end drying things up, overall nice balance and very mellow enjoyable flavor, the alcohol is very well hidden to point of not noticeable at all, i would say this beer may not be the absolute most complex but very balanced

Mouthfeel- very light crisp, and refreshing with smooth carbonation

drinkability/overall- this beer was really refreshing and well balanced certainly easy smooth drinking, this one struck me as one that would go well with alot foods or even just on its own, its not the most complex but makes up for it largely in sheer balance and smoothness

4.29/5  rDev +3.9%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

Appearance: Cotton foam with a thin ring of lacing as the foam disappears. Gold color.

Smell: Lemon, grapefruit, and sourdough. Very light for a strong ale.

Taste/Mouthfeel: Plums, raisins, and some licorice. Excellent spritzy feel combined with a full-bodied mouthfeel that is surprisingly heavy for a light-hued beer.

Overall Drinkability: Better than Ommegang Abbey.

Serving type: on-tap

4.06/5  rDev -1.7%
look: 4.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4

a: This was a slightly hazy, somewhat dark golden color. It poured with a thick, creamy head that left behind lots of lace.

s: Big, yeasty esters of slightly earthy bananas. Bright, fresh, sugary tropical fruit and bready grains. Some peppery yeast emerged as it warmed.

t: Sweet tropical fruit early, getting pretty sugary toward the middle. Drier, yeasty finish; peppery, light barnyard.

m: Soft and lush.

o: Another very good beet from Ommegang. No surprise there. Not quite up among my favorites from them, but knocking on the door for sure.
