Reaping and Sowing

Trader Joe’s annual release brewed by Unibroue.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle into the trusty Delirium glass.

Beautiful dark brown ruby pour with pretty carbonation forming at the bottom of the glass. Decent head forming, 1.5 finger, with quick dissipation. All Unibroue beers seem to pour similarly, the head is more like a soda or champagne than beer.

Smells wonderful! Like perfume or grapes. First taste is very juicy. Grapes and other dark fruit are present. Not a lot of malt, not hops. Finishes with a touch of alcohol, very nice! Body is perfect. Effervescent, full bodied and a smooth finish and lingers just the right amount.

Its amazing that Trader Joe’s can sell these for $4! A great deal considering Unibroue beers cost twice as much.  Unibroue does it again with a very drinkable and enjoyable beer that hits the Belgian style right on the head.

Overall: B+

Beer snob would rather drink: Cheap Cab
