12 ounce bottle. Medium gold pour topped by a small creamy white head. Notes of ginger, yeast and coriander. Tart, spicy wheat malt flavor. Notes of bread, ginger and coriander prevail. Belgian yeast twang. Dry, crisp malt and warming alcohol in finish.

Tap at the brewery - hazy gold - decent Belgian ale, with moderately more bitterness than anticipated, and some overbearing phenols that fatigue the palate a bit - unnecessary spices add to this, ultimately creating a beer that’s just trying to do too much.

Draught @ Albion. Clear pale yellow with small off-white foamy head, honey aroma, high carbonation, slightly sweet taste with strong honey flavor, long honey sweet finish. This is almost like a mead.

Bottle. Hazy gold with a slight, white, head. My notes on this beer are sparse, but confirm that it was indeed spicy and inclined towards sweetness. Fine.
