For an 8 percent, this feels surprisingly thin on the palate. Mildly bitter malt, you pick up mild esters and tropical fruit notes. Lingering bitters that's a little harsh.

330ml bottle from Boise Co-op. Hazy golden pour with a towering foamy head, streaky lacing. Looks like a triple. Smells like one too. Rich bready, yeasty aroma. Taste is buttery, yeasty, dough and the presence of light savory notes near the finish, and a nice crisp bite at the finish. A real joy to drink. Going against the flow with ratings. I loved it.

Pour is a hazy blonde with a large white head. Aroma is a nice wheat malt and white pepper. Flavor is more wheat malt, white pepper chamomile and a little creamy vanilla on the back end. They pretty much brewed a saison without calling it a saison. Nice, flavorful and summery

Pretty hazy golden coloured body with a pretty large, two centimetre tall pure white head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of very defined grassy and herbal notes that bring out the banana esters of the Belgian yeast strain with a lot of grainy malts right behind and a hit of fresh hops as well - very nice and great for the style - tons of complexity in the nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grainy and yeastie flavours dominate up front with a big dry quality and some hop bitterness as well, but the malts are the strongest here and bring out some rustic and basementy type flavours usually reserved for some of the roasted/toasted malt beers, but this is complex and rich, yet crisp somehow. Aftertaste shows the grassy and herbal notes up front with a lot of the hop bitterness still around, but not from high alpha acid hops, this is a smooth flow of lighter hops that hit throughout, but the yeast is still here of course and quite strong in a good, pure Belgian way. Overall, a pretty nice beer that is refreshing, yet full of flavour and even more complexity that brings out some crisp notes and at the very end, even some slight citrusey flavours, but still goes down easily. Great to sample, especially in summer here and especially on the other side of the Atlantic! I sampled this 33 cL stubby bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 25-June-2022 for US$11,99/four pack, sampled at my house here in Washington before going to see Enter Shikari at the Union Stage in Washington on 15-September-2022, a few blocks away.

Barwa złota, lekko zamglone, piana biała, średnio obfita, dość trwała. W aromacie brzoskwinia, żółte owoce, nieco szampańskie. W smaku półwytrawne, estrowe, owocowe. Goryczka niska do średniej, wysycenie średnie, nieznaczny alkohol, ciało w normie. Nie wyróżnia się jakoś szczególnie.

Bottle online from The Trembling Madness. Pours a slightly hazy straw/yellow colour with a large throthy white head. Aromas of coriander, clove, apple, pear and a touch of banana. Taste has the same notes again with added notes of bubblegum and a little peppery spice. Thin to medium body with average carbonation. Nice light and refreshing. Will have to try this one again on a hot summers day.

Bottle from House Of Trembling Madness. Hazy golden body with a thick white head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of coriander seeds and a hint of marzipan. Flavour of straw and grassy hops. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Nice and refreshing.
