11.2 oz stubby bottle

Sampler Six Pack
$22.99
Appearance: glowing golden orange that is slightly misty with a one and a half
finger snow white head; make sure to swirl that bottle to get that Belgian yeast sediment into the glass
Aroma: yeast; mild stone fruit; light Belgian spice; light
bouquet overall
Flavors: very nice elegant style; stone fruit; firm earthy yeast;
herbal biscuit like; sweet grains are soon washed with a pleasing bitter note
that reminds me of orange peel; a faint musty white peppercorn on the back and
aftertaste; fruity and dry aftertaste
Mouthfeel: a fine lively carbonation that gives it a little
spritzy feel; not very sweet like I expected; more sweet grains that honey or
candy like on the front and then a mild-moderate bitterness on the mid and
finish; fruity and dry aftertaste
Find that comfy chair to sit back and enjoy |
To the Point: a fine Grand Cru; elegant; very pleasing to
drink; nice complexity; this is worthy of the price of admission; just sit back
– sip and enjoy
Food pairing: Swordfish, Mahi Mahi, Sea Bass or how about
veal chops
