Draft at Bluejacket. Light golden, small silky head, lots of lacing. Big grainy aroma and yeast. Yeast moves to the front in the taste, smooth silky, Belgian-y. Dry, nice feel.

750ml bottle from the brewery pours a hazy gold with a ring of white head. Big melon nose, honey dew, some musk mellow, some papaya too, some lemon, yeast, mild spice. Flavor has some malt notes, some candy, a little honey, a little chrysanthemum, but lots of melon, cantaloupe, honey dew, some papaya too. Crisp finish. Interesting.
