A full white head on a clear amber body. Nose is well blended with cloves, bubble gum yeast, honey and grain. The seasonal spices play strong with cinnamon, cloves and belgian yeast leading the way. Alcohol warmth, honey and coriander supported by sweet malt.

341 ml bottle poured into my DDC tulip. Golden pour, big, frothy white head. Aroma of a belgian wit. Im getting corriander, some light citrus and tropical fruit with some subtle spcing, Carb is quite high, but does not detract, mouth feel is perfect. The finish is very low on the bitterness. The cloves really shine in the end, a big clove presence, and earthiness. Tropical fruit, with a distinct clove earthiness round out the finish, and the alcohol is incredibly well hidden. Great beer.

16oz (thx, Marc-Olivier L.!) in Central Park shared with George. Appearance: a bit hazy golden with a white head. Aroma: sweet, floral, bold, a bit perfumy, a lot of clove. Taste: along the same lines, strong, lots of candies and clove. Overall: ok.

Draught at Bells & Whistles, Vancouver
Hazy blond color. True Belgian character blended with wheat, good sweet base, and perfumy esters, moderately spicy too; the warm alcohol is very pleasant.
Very nice.

(341mL bottle from Peluso, 9mo) Pours a lightly hazed medium orange with a small white bubbly head, slight lace. Aroma strongly clove and cinnamon, bubblegum sweetness, some light fruity esters (banana, peach). On the palate, slightly sweet wheat malt core, stone fruit, clove and cinnamon (the latter in the finish more) or maybe five spice powder, candied orange rind. Faintly sour yeasty edge in the middle but ultimately sweet/bitter overall, with more citrus rind bitterness on the finish. Medium body, low-moderate carb, slight alcohol heat. Spice heavy wit but there’s a lot of fruitiness too. I think of this in the pantheon of spiced winter ales and it’s a pretty good one because of the other fruity, yeasty elements. Sweet, yes, but not nearly as sweet as some malt bomb winter ales, and more drinkable in small servings.

Bottle shared by solidfunk at the DC Summer Saison & Sour Tasting, 7/12/14. Aroma of doughy malt, stone fruit, spice, mild clay. The taste is stone fruits, candied cherry, spice, pale malt. Medium bodied, lingering spice, low carbonation.

341 ml bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with a thin white head. Strong, spicy aroma of cinnamon, clove and some alcohol.Sweet flavour dominated by cinnamon and clove but also notes of malt and ginger with a warming alcohol finish. A great winter beer.
