Intense nose, bursting, almost aggressive, with a clear ripe fruity peach, white walnut, gooseberry and lychee almost to cover a delicate spiciness. In the mouth the taste is refreshing thanks to the light body and the absence of residual sugars. Dry, sharp and prolonged finish.

Bottle. Big grapefruit aroma, lots of citrus, taste is less fruity. Light skunkiness. Quite refreshing, feels more ipa like than belg.

Bottle at Bier Baron Tavern. Poured a bright yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was funky yeast, bright crispness in this one. Light grain, funky finish.

Draught at Ginger Man, 7/12/17.
Lightly hazy, soft, goldenrod-white peach with plentiful carbonation and a small but well-retained white head.
Fruity yeast and gentle but fragrant hops combine in the nose to provide apple, lemon, strawberry and very light grapefruit on the end. For a non-traditionally hopped Belgian, it doesn't overwhelm and smells obviously similar to Guineu Riner. Lots of plastery/plasticy yeast notes provide some rustic flare and it's clean with sparse cracker-like malt lingering, as well as light citrus.
Dry and tightly carbonated with a fairly malty texture (though tending on the grainy side, slightly), the cracker-like malts provide good texture in concert with the firm carbonation. Lemon, lime, grapefruit and orange peel never get very bitter nor resinous, thankfully, and the Belgian yeast shines through on the finish with just a hint of honey-like malt sweetness lingering, as well. Clean, no alcohol. Very nice stuff, though I must admit Guineu Riner does all this and more at half the abv....

Pale golden with slightest haziness, more hazy on second pour. Good and healthy white head, shows good persistence and nice lacing. Aroma is softly yeasty with a base of dough, fruitiness in the likes of both ripe fruit and citrus and a nice refreshing grassiness. Very nice. Taste follows the aroma, with fruitiness maybe less vivid. Medium sweetness and medium to high bitterness, finishes refreshingly dry and slightly on the grassy bitter side. Light bodied with medium to high carbonation, easy going but quite vivid in the mouth. Overall a very nice and refreshing beer, very clean for it's strong yeasty charachter.
