UPDATED: MAR 12, 2019 50% off on clearance...otherwise would have probably not have ever tried this for $15. I am thinking that this maybe sat too long, as seemed on the flatter side....maybe balance off a little leaning towards the sweet side. I can tell that the flavor is there....fruit/tart, earthy, some hop...typical Belgian flavors. Once past the mouthfeel, it is a decent beer. Appearance is murky medium brown, kinda like swamp water or a dark apple cider with zero head. After reading these reviews I really do think the bottle was bad, as I figured aging a bit wouldn't matter with this one.

Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer poured a murky brown color with a medium sized creamy off white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was sweet with bread dough, honey, caramel, fig and vegetal malts. The flavor was sweetish, bitter, astringent, medicinal, perfumey, chalky and vegetal. Very long finish of rancid vegetable soup. Pretty disgusting.

Leans sweet like most Belgium ales. Pale brown and clear color. Solid head. On closeout. Retailer says big bottles are losing compared to cans.

On tap at the Specialty Beer Store. Clear yellow pour with a white head. Clove, spice, banana bouquet. Really sweet with Belgian Candy highlights. Syrupy with banana and clove.

BB backlog, Bottle shared, pours amber golden with a pretty sizable head and decent lacing. Nose is brett, light stone fruit, plum, flowers, and leather. Flavor is just as impressive with more belgian yeast/fruit, pepper, earth, citrus and dust. Glad I got to try this Abbey collab beer.

Style et résumé: Strong ale bien ordinaire.
Comment: Dégustation Manseau 2016.
Portrait: Une bière cuivrée qui ne mousse pas. Un nez ordinaire de levure belge avec des épices. Une bouche sèche sur fond boisée avec des épices. Cette bière s’est rapidement faite oubliée parmi les canons bues cette journée et surtout pas à la hauteur du talent des brasseurs.
Note: 6+/10

UPDATED: JUN 25, 2016 Draft. Pours a dark orange with white head that dissipates rather quickly. Aroma is of apricots, banana, and peach. Light malty aroma. Taste is more of the same, but with that signature Belgian flavor from the yeast. Reminds me of a fantastic tripel with added flavors. Palate is medium body, good heft. Some moderate carbonation. Not too heavy nor too light. Overall very impressed with this beer.

Draught @ Albion. Faintly cloudy golden yellow with off-white foamy head, vanilla like aroma with some tropical fruit, medium carbonation, thick body, slightly salty taste with a bitter finish. Very satisfying brew.

Bottle 750ml. Pours brown with low white head. Minimal lacing. Aroma is of caramel, fruits. Taste is of caramel, fruits, malt. Palate: Full bodied. Soft carbonation. Overall: Good, malty. Not re-inventing the wheel.

Golden pour with white head. Had this as part of a flight at Half Acre. Bubblegum and sugar, mild tartness and very fruity. Very good.
