A lightly hazed blonde ale with a thin white head. A pleasant vanilla bubblegum aroma with light orange peels. In mouth, sweet restrained candy sugar with light coriander and orange peels. Medium bodied. On tap at Blind Tiger, NY, Dec. 27 2008.

Gotmos got a keg of this last night for a party, which gave me the opportunity to rate this "properly." Since this beer is tap only drinking only 14-16oz in a bar can’t possibly provide enough of a sample to understand the beer. So I sat there trying to drink this beer from the beginning of the keg to the end, the really understand the nature of this brew. It pours well looking enough with a clear, bright golden color and a large strong head. The beer is definitely Belgian inspired with a nice yeast sweetness followed by peach skin and orange like flavors. The hops play a background role and contribute light citrus and light sweet hoppiness to back up the Belgian aspect. The none Belgian qualities are represented in a much cleaner malt profile. Its easy to drink, I mean I tried to sit for hours and drink the whole container so I could not "cheat": a rating out of it but eventually I had to pass out.
1/2 keg from Gotmos, mason jar.

Tap at Waterfront Ale House, Brooklyn - I thought this was a lager at first; I thought I detected some lager yeast qualities - quite a high hop profile for the style, combining well with the spicy qualities imparted by the (belgian?) yeast strain used - medium vanilla/honey sweetness, balanced well by the hops - nice, unfiltered appearance, with a full mouthfeel - great with a meal.
