7. Serafijn- Brouweij Achilles

There was but one problem with our beer last night: there wasn't enough of it. It was really great stuff. It was malty, without being too sweet, spicy without being overpowering, it was pretty goddamned delicious. It was amber in color and had a respectable head. It was 8% but you would never know it. It was just all around a very good beer and a good find. You see, about two weeks ago we stumbled across this box of 5 beers called "Christmas in Belgium." We hadn't heard of any of them (this one, according to the box, comes from a home brewing music teacher who apparently does a good duet with his wife), but if the rest are anywhere near as good as this one was, I will enjoy the next 4 days. I have a feeling that several months from now, when I'm sitting around drinking Bud Light with Clamato juice and wondering why I signed up for this, I will be able to think back to this stretch of time and remember why. Serafijn gets 5 out of 5 delicious belgian beers in a box.
