B-
Taste +4
You know what? After a while beer styles really start to taste the same. This makes me very happy, because this is a great beer in a great style. The nose is bready with light berry fruits; although it is a bit watery. A little bubbly hits the tongue and spreads the toffee, apricots and light peach all over the place. This is enhanced with a hearty dose of alcohol tingle.
Aftertaste +1
You would expect a medium weight taste like this to last for a while; oddly the finish is dry and lasts about 20 seconds. It is quite tart, like an apricot cider.
Alcohol Content +1 9%
Just the way it should be
Value +1
This was a good Belgian triple. I would get it again; it can be had for a domestic price.
Ingame Enhancement +1
Any night Meterman comes over and drinks beer is a good night. Yes, I did this to bump the score up.
Overall 8/10
A solid, domestic Abbey Style Triple. Sure to please the converted and will not offend the purist.
