Augustijn Ale
2005 vintage bottle pulled from the cellar Poured into the always appropriate goblet Smell is fan-freaking-tastic, very sweet with a gum/yeasty mix Taste, Wow, so very smooth with a fruity edge balanced by, well...alcohol I suppose. But the age this one was given to mature has balanced out the slight edge this one had while still a young little beer. Big hints of pear, cantaloupe, and a dry and quick sour snap really make this brew something you could chug a barrel of. Overall, I'm sad that this was my last one, as I had four that I bought in '05 and sampled every 6 months. Two years has really leveled this one out, but I know this one could go for at least another year.
