3oz pour at Max’s Belgian Fest 2016 pours a hazy gold with some cloudy, white head. Nose has flower pollen, honey, straw, grist, cornmeal. Flavor has so much honey, light lemon, pollen, straw... but a ton of honey and yeast.

330mL bottle, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of Belgian yeast, biscuity malt, and a touch of floral quality. Flavour is along the same lines, with simple Belgian yeast, followed by dry biscuity malt. Clean and drinkable enough, with not much complexity. Decent stuff.

Bottle enjoyed at Todd English pub in Vegas. Pours a hazy golden-amber colour with lots of apples in the aromas and taste. Notes of Belgian Ale yeast. Quite a nice easy-drinking Belgian ale with loads of natural apple notes. I really enjoyed this one.

Draught at Brouwer’s Cafe, 11/8/15.
Typical, heavily carbonated blonde-orange beer with good clarity and a large white head that is rocky and slowly fades to cover.
Oranges, lemons, vanilla cake icing and a bit of perfume from the esters. There’s a bit of peach banana, but it’s mostly given over to the dry citrus and light phenolic (clove) interplay.
Sweet up front (vanilla cream) leading to a breadier, citrus-flecked middle and finally ending on a more dry note, replete with clove-like phenols but also very soft pale malt honey notes that are clean and snap off, leaving the beer quite a bit more crisp/dry than I had expected. Granted, there’s still a bit of sharpness in here, it’s slightly on the sweet side and there’s nothing really oustandingly well-done or complex here. But it’s certainly drinkable, with ample carbonation and no heavy banana or bubble gum, thank god. No diacetyl present whatsoever in mine.
