Can: Lemon zest nose. Cloudy amber, medium head with little retention, wisps of ultrafine sediment, yeast chunks at the bottom of the glass. Primarily lemon flavor, but there are faint banana hints, and a strongly doughy finish.Nice medium body, alcohol well masked. Wow, surprisingly good. No ordinary BPA.

From cask at Churchkey. Pours hazy orange with small white head. Aroma is citric, light spiced and fruity. Mild spiced, fruity and vague phenolic. Sweet and light toasted malty into the finish.

Some bar with a name I forgot: Pours a cloudy orange color with a nice white head. Aroma is of Belgian yeast, with some nice hoppy notes. Taste is predictable. Basically, this is a standard Belgian ale with a hearty malt backbone, but enough crispness to be very sessionable. Flowers, yeast, and a subtle sweetness. I can’t really complain.

On tap at Meridian Pint. Poured a slightly hazy light orange color with a small amount of head and some decent lacing. Aroma is yeasty, with notes of sweet caramels, light citrus. Decent, refreshing.

Courtesy of fata2683. The growler pours out clear deep gold with thin bright white head. The aroma has some spicy yeastiness, sugary sweet malts, a bit of grainy malts and a touch of sweet apple. The taste is very similar with tasty grainy malts and a sense of corn kernels mixing with sweet sugary malts and spicy yeast notes. It has a pretty thin body. Thanks Keith for the DC rate.

Sampled at the NoVa Summer Beer Fest in Leesburg, VA on 6/25/11. Pours a hazy golden orange color with a medium frothy tan head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of bread, citrus and clove. The taste is citrus, bread, spices and apples. Medium bodied. Quite refreshing.

Draft at Churchkey. Cloudy golden color, medium white head that settles very quickly. Aroma of bread dough. Taste is nicely aggressive lemon pepper with plenty of malts. Bitter and slightly dry finish. Very nice.
