  • Ommegang Hennepin (USA)

    This fresh and hoppy, farmhouse style ale has a champagne like effervescence with a crisp but light on the tongue finish. Very true to the classic Belgian style offering both rusticity with the bright flavors of spring. A wonderful brew offered at a bargain price. 4 Stars

  • Brasserie de Blaugies Saison D’Epeautre (Belgium)

    Dry with more than a hint of fresh wheat, sweet malt and balancing tart notes. It is very effervescent with persistent bubbles. The distinct, nearly coarse grain notes offer much intrigue and pleasure. Mildly earthy like great Champagne, and it goes down just as easy. 4 Stars

  • Riva S.A. Lucifer (Belgium)

    Bright pale golden color. Medium-bodied. Notes of tropical fruit, citrus, pale malts with mild bitterness. Pours with a big frothy white head. Zesty, lively entrance with subtle fruity flavors and a crisp edge through the finish. 4 Stars

  • Brouwerij De Smedt Affligem Abbey Dubbel (Belgium)

    Bright red-chestnut with a rich, creamy head. Aromas show a sweet malted barley character with notes of dried fruits, allspice, cardamom, and sour cherries. Rich caramel malt flavors foiled by brown spices and tart fruits highlight the palate. Texturally it is very pleasing as the dense beads of carbonation roll and build to a creamy sensation Complex and balanced. Quite hedonistic. 4 Stars

  • Brouwerij De Smedt Affligem Abbey Tripel (Belgium)

    Pale yellow-gold with a lacy white head. Full-bodied. Hugely aromatic with apricots, spicy hops and pale malt. Full pale malt flavors are rich and intense, yet not sweet. Impressively complex, yet not remotely cloying or thick. 4 Stars

  • Brouwerij Van Steenberge Piraat (Belgium)

    Intense golden-yellow hue. Pours with a huge, rocky white head. Full-bodied. Candied, sweet malt aromas with complex spiced accents. Intensely malty and sweet with a chewy, thick mouthfeel. Spicy hops come through on the warm finish. This is a thick, warming brew, with a touch of intentionally cloying character. Beware of its potency. 4 Stars

  • Abbaye des Rocs Spéciale Noël (Belgium)

    Rich, complex fruit aroma of cherries, golden raisins, peaches, and assorted dried fruit, laced with honey and caramel. Smooth, rich flavors reminiscent of cherries dipped in caramel, finishing with notes of dried chocolate, roasted almonds, and a hint of molasses. 4 Stars

  • Fantome Saison Ale (Belgium)

    Deep golden colored and cloudy with a thick, rocky head. The nose and palate reveal wild flavors akin to lambic. A complex blend of rich malt and tart citrus like flavors. In the end the crisp and lively impression wins the struggle of flavors making this a very refreshing drink anytime of the year. 4 Stars

  • Tucher Dunkles Hefeweizen (Germany)

    Chestnut tan head with a subtle haze. Pours with a big, richly laced head. Medium bodied. Mild bitterness. Wonderful aromas feature banana, clove and toasty malt accents. Rich upfront, with frothy carbonation and a toasted malt note that turns drier through the finish where creamy, yeasty flavors come through. Relatively dry. Outstandingly flavorsome and refreshing. 4 Stars

  • Traquair House Ale (Scotland)

    Dark mahogany color with a generous white head. Toasted grains, sweet malt, and toffee fill the nose. The palate echoes the nose as it seamlessly marries barley malt with semi-sweet caramel, roasted nuts, and hints of earth and brown spices. The finish lingers with rich but dry malt notes with a very delicate note of earthy hops. Dangerously sessionable. 4 Stars
