Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to chalice.
Appearance: golden copper to yellow color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: sweet citrusy tones, some clove, banana esters, Belgian sugars, red apple and allspice? Yeah, I think that's allspice.
Flavor: seemed to combine the prior noted aromas to a semi-sweet to slightly spicy sort of blend; finishes dryly with slightly clove-like with the banana esters and apple tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning into being sessionable; light smoothness but also a slight dryness gripping the tongue
Overall: not bad for what it is, I think I somewhat liked this but not as up to par with the big boys of the style and I'm not sure why there is "allspice" in a Belgian styled golden strong ale, that kinda makes me think a little bit about this beer.

Pour is a cloudy blond with a large white head. Aroma is super peppery. Flavor is also some white pepper with a decent bitterness. Finish is chalky and dry. This was a pretty good Belgian blonde. Way heavy on the spicy pepper if that's your thing.

Bottle. Clear golden pour, with a large, Rocky head. Aroma is yeast, tropical fruit, light lemon oil, biscuity malts. Soft mouth feel, lively carb. Low bitterness, crisp tropical fruit and cereals, very trippelish in the finish without the alcohol.

Backlog May 2017. Slightly unclear golden body under a small white head. Aroma of sweetish pale malt with spicy Belgium yeast. Taste is sweet, some general fruitiness, smooth pale malt and low bitterness. Medium body and same aftertaste. Nice take on the Belgium golden ale style.

3 Johns Black Hole. Keg. Light haze on this paleish gold beer, small white head. Smooth palate, modest fine carbonation. Thin malts, mildly sweet. Light sweet floral mid. Touch of saison herb. Mellow lemony citrus. Spicy finish. Okay, quite saison like.
