Trader Joe's Vintage Ale

Ok, I know what you're thinking "Trader Joe's beer, how is that worthy of this site?!" Truth is this stuff is made for Trader Joe's by Unibroue and is actually pretty tasty.

Its a Belgian/Abby Dubbel ale. Its a little on the sweet side but balanced well with the high level of carbonation. Light hops and fruit smells with a medium full body round out the first taste. Thick head, dies down to about half an inch, more of the malt flavor comes out as you drink more. There's also some kind of spice almost like coriander that is starting to be tasted.

Nothing out of this world, just a good solid Belgian style beer. I would recommend getting yourself a bottle, I plan to get another one soon.
