Draft at Tropics. Clear golden color, medium off white head. Aroma of lightly spiced orange peel. Taste is bittersweet citrus, straw, light funk. Decent.

650ml bottle

Pours dark reddish orange with a smooth bubbly head. Aroma of ripe fruits, sweet yeastiness, malts, honey, hints of spices. Taste is sweet, ripe fruity and yeasty with some honey and hints of spices. Finish is sweet, stuffy and yeasty with loads of ripe fruits. Decent, but a bit unbalanced.

Frothy white head. Amber golden. Very nice malty ready nose with honey. Quit nice. Rounded malty mouth with honey fairly present, but not over bearing. Actually quit good better than I expected.

Thanks to TimE for sharing the bottle! Poured into a tulip glass with dense honey center and semi-translucent rims with sparse white foam on the rims. The nose shows sweet malts and Belgian yeasts. The palate is full bodied, syrupy, with a light foaminess. The flavors are typical Belgian yeast but very dry.

Bottle: Poured a deep golden color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of sweet Belgian malt notes with light warming alcohol is OK at best. Taste is also dominated by Belgian malt with quite a bit of residual sugar notes, some warming alcohol and light peppery yeast notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. I thought this beer was a little bit off balance with alcohol coming through a bit too much.

Bottle. Peach, orange, yeast, and malt aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Sweet apple-peach, yeast, malt, and alcohol flavor. Nice body. Nice beer.

Bottle shared by Duchammer: Poured a golden to copper color with a whispery white head. Aroma is fruity Belgian yeast phenols and sweet bubble gum. Nice balanced mixed fruit and hops, little spice in the end...coriander possibly.

Bottle, ABC Store. Murky dun colour. Floral aroma. Taste has that, some phenols and yeastiness. It’s a little muddled, messy, not without good elements (the orchard fruit-alcohol dynamic is pretty classic) but overall a mess.
