Bottle way way way past it's BBE date, found in my rotbox: Poured a caramel golden with a creamy off white head. Aroma is floral, citrus fruits, malty, yeasty. Taste is bitter floral hops, citrus, zesty, light metallic, malty, caramel, yeasty bready. This has held up well, which was unexpected.

Bottle: Clear, dark golden-amber with a thick off-white head. Caramel, light toasted grain scent. Taste is mild, caramel malt, a touch of yeast, orange-lemon. Just.....OK...nothing at all steps out. Very muted hops, and not much "Belgian" happening either.

Clear amber coloured body with a copper glow and a nice thin head, about a centimetre tall. Aroma of toffee, fresh earthy and floral hops and a smooth malty note that is noticeable above the hops. Medium-bodied; Assertive grassy hops show first with a smooth balance of lightly toasted malts and a caramelised sugar sweet finish coupled with the residual hop bitterness near the end of earth and toffee. Aftertaste shows a smooth complexity of grain, hops, earth and toffee - nice and robust throughout, but still not showing too much at all. Overall, a nice balanced beer with some noticeable hop bitterness, but again, not too much throughout that make this different from the traditional fat tire or other beers from the APA category (this is definitively not a ’Belgian Ale’, period.). I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Fair Lakes (Fairfax), Virginia on 14-July-2016 for US$15,99 for the mixed twelve pack, sampled at home in Washington on 08-February-2017.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark copper color with a large soapy orange-white head that left decent lacing. The aroma was sweet, tangy and yeasty with sugar, tropical fruit and a touch of pepper. The flavor was musty, yeasty and bready with floral and fruity hops and was rather dry. Medium length finish. Medium body. Meh.

Bottle from Discount. Pours a clear amber with almost no head. Caramel, earth and very faint funk. Hops have pretty much faded into an earthy note. Nice dry toffee notes on the palate though. Old at this point.

12 ounce bottle, 6/26/16. Clear copper, large foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of toasted malt, yeast, floral hops. The taste is toasted malt, citrus and floral hops. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness.

On tap at prefunk boise. Pours out a copper amber topped with a sand head. Nose is grain malts some spice and a light grassy note. Taste is more of the grain malty notes and a nice light belg spice.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Cloudy golden color. The malts are a bit grainy, in the aroma, shallow in the flavor; the hopping is a bit herbaceous, the bitterness is ok.
Pleasant, Dunkelblonde as they call these.
