This ale is made in the Belgian tradition with Noble hops and our Belgian yeast giving this blonde golden colored ale a wonderfully complex spicy clove like aroma and subtle dried apricot, and biscuit like flavor. This beer is a wonderful entry level Belgian beer for anyone unsure of Belgian styles.

Draft at Ale House Amesbury, MA. Hazy golden color, full lasting head retention. Aroma shows me yeast, toasted biscuits, and mild citrus. The flavor is good Belgian yeast and pale grain backbone. Mild clove.
Good medium body with a nice mouthfeel. Has a elegant character to it. Flavor are mild and nuanced.

Nice and slightly hazy golden coloured body with a honey glow and a thinnish, two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of crisp light malt and wheats with a pungent yeast strain, some lemons and a bit of floral aand grassy notes throughout. Medium-bodied; Assertive effervescence with a pungent yeast kick at first, some subdued grainy and herbal notes and a touch of grass and dry saison-y flavours with a crisp yeast complexity and some. Very subtle sugars from fruit and honey. Aftertaste is rich, but very dry - there are a lot of grassy and herbal flavours and a bit of a yeast kick that shows some of the Belgian complexities of bananas, cloves, grain and a touch of bubblegum. Overall, a complex and relatively elegant beer, but little in the way of inventiveness - just a well-executed beer for the style that has a great profile and even better complexity - about all you can ask for as a Belgian pale! I sampled this sixteen ounce bottle on draught at Whole Foods in Pentagon City (Arlington), Virigniaa on 23-February-2017 for US$5,00 sampled at the end of my driveway.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from One Stop Market. Appearance is cloudy yellow-orange with greenish tinge, noticeable floaties, no sparkle, two-finger width foamy white head with decent retention and nice sudsy lacing. Aroma is light fruity esters, lightly spicy, wheat, yeast. Taste is as aroma though fruity esters are stronger. Palate is medium-to-full bodied with thick texture, average texture and finish as taste. Overall, a nice offering.

Pours gold into a tulip. White head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Clove and heather aromas. Sharp with sweet honey and biscuit upfront turning to clove before the lasting bitter earth finish.

Pour is a cloudy orange with a large white head. Aroma is very much like a saison. Lot of yeast ester with some grainy malt and peach. Flavor is more of a honey with some melon and some white sugar sweetness towards the end. This has a very bitter finish for some reason. Pretty standard golden ale. My bottle said 6.5%

Brewvival Trip Beer 28. Pours a clear golden color with a medium sized frothy white head. Good head retention. Aroma of spice, herbal notes, bread, candied peaches and honey. The taste is tart fruits, bread, spice, honey. Lingering tartness. Medium bodied. Nice beer.
