Dennis: For a Belgium ale, the amount of sediment in the bottle was almost zero. That in and of itself is just amazing. Moving on, the amount of carbonation was also more than usual. We actually mistook a lot of the bubbles for possible "floaters" during the pour. The aroma is typical Belgium ale, strong, malty, but with a faint tartness. Taste wise, this come across almost like a triple. The body is a little fuzzy, due to generous carbonation, but the taste is pleasant with a definite alcohol presence (10%). Over all, a nice non sugary-sweet Belgium ale worth having.
Jen: Okay, so it is a Belgium Ale. It has the usual tastes of dark fruits and malt sweetness, but one thing that does make this interesting is the alcohol kick that helps tame the sweet fruit taste. This is also super fizzy, so make sure that your relatives that are over for the holidays don't mind frequent belching.
