Trader Joe's - Providential Golden Ale

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

A spiced belgian pale ale, sort of close to a white ale but not quite there. The alcohol burn is a little high. Its good, not great. Good price, but I'm not sure I'd get it again. I'm just not in love with the style. 

Trader Joe's -2011 Vintage Ale

Slightly over carbonated, but it settles some. Its spiced a fair amount, but it works well enough. Not super sweet or heavy.

Trader Joe's 2010 Vintage Ale

Brewed by Unibroe

The last time I purchased one of trader joe's vintage ales was when I lived by myself in Cleveland Park. I remember it being over-carbonated and fairly bland. The recipe changes each year, so I'm not sure whether its my palate that's changed or the 2006 actually was terrible.

The 2010 is actually pretty enjoyable. Decent amount of carbonation (although it did take a few minutes to get the cork out). Figs, raisins, etc. dominate the taste. Good deal at the price, as I'm pretty sure I paid $5 for it.

Unibroe Trios Pistoles

fruity taste. Tastes of dates and raisins. It's pretty great. Thumbs up good job Unibroe.

Unibroe La Fin du Monde

A very nice tripel. Nice amount of carbonation. Tastes of green apple, lemon and pineapple. Very drinkable for 9% abv.

Bonus Mandy Thoughts:
Mandy wanted me to drink a two hearted ale instead because she thought this would make me take a nap.

Unibroue - Don De Dieu

I really like this beer. Its pretty fruity and citrusy (pretty sure that's not a word) than most of the beers I usually like. A pretty great summer beer. Just don't drink 4 of them in a row or you'll be plastered (9% abv)

That's it.
