This falls into a flexible category known as Belgian-style abbey ale, a term borrowed from the great beers once brewed by various Trappist monasteries. It's not saying much, because those ales come in various forms, from dry to sweet and from pale to dark. But they share one thing in common: Belgian yeast that tends to yield noticeable fruitiness and aromatic spice. That's certainly the case here. Hazy orange in colour, with moderate effervescence and a good head of quickly dissipating foam, it's dry and attractively balanced. I like the way the round, creamy character is offset by tangy freshness and a solid backbone of bitterness. Big orange, banana, apple and dried-date fruit flavours mingle with licorice and subtle coriander. It recently took home silver in the Belgian-style abbey ale category at the Canadian Brewing Awards (behind gold-medal-winner Vow of Silence from Parallel 49 Brewing of British Columbia). $6.75 in B.C., $5.93 in Manitoba.
