I got this bottle in a trade with jwc215. Thanks Joe!
It pours a cloudy orange with a 1 finger head of foam. Decent head retention and there's some lacing.
The smell has notes of peach, yeast, wheat, a touch of banana.
The taste is yeasty, has some peach, light banana, slightly spicy, a bit of citrus and some earthiness. Sounds interesting but the flavours don't work all that well together.
Light bodied with a medium level of carbonation, it finishes earthy and then goes all watery. Not bad but not something I would drink again.

Bottle from jcwattsrugger, thanks for the opportunity! Pours a hazy deep golden color with a decent sized but quickly fading bubbly white head, Sweet bready malt aroma mixed with a fair amount of light fruit and hints of spice. The flavor is sweet bready malt with a bit more yeasty flavors than the aroma suggested. Light citric tartness and fruit round us out nicely. Medium body with a moderate to high level of carbonation. A bit fuller in body than I normally associate with a summer brew, but honestly I’d rather drink this!

Sampled on draft this beer poured a yellow-gold color with a a large foamy white head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was perfumey and citric. The flavor was lemon, wheat, cracker and perfume. Medium length finish. Light body. Meh.

12 oz. bottle. Pours deep gold with thin white head. The nose is citrus oranges, some lemon rind, yeast, and light banana. Flavor is sweet, sugars, yeast, lemons and oranges. Light, watery body with average carbonation. The one thing this brew has is; easy drinkability. I killed three bottles of the 6 pack in no time.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a cloudy orange hue with a small white head. A sweet dusty caramel nose. The flavor is pretty smooth and sweet with oranges and light spices. Perhaps a Belgian Pale Ale. Light bananas. Easygoing and pretty nice.

Pizzeria Paradiso, Alexandria tap ($6): Pours an amberish colour with a white head. Aroma is vaguely of Belgian yeast, with some fruitiness. There is slight fruitiness, slight bitterness, and plenty of wateriness in this beer. All in all, this beer was too light. I have had Belgian ales that pull off the low alcohol content well, but this is not one of those beers. Still, it is perfectly acceptable.

Bottle thanks to jcwattsrugger: Poured a thick cloudy copper orange with a huge off white foam head. Aroma is a sweet fruit with sticky caramel, hangs to the nose. Taste is crisp with cloves, sweet burnt malt, and refreshing fruit.

Bottle at the Funky 6. I’ll show this beer some love. Orange-gold pour with a slight, white head. Yeasty, citrusy aroma with some definite malts. Flavor is fairly sweet, with Belgian sugars, yeast, grain and spices. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Sweet finish with more Belgian notes and only mild hops. Good drinking beer.
