On tap at the brewery. Pours a yellow color with a large white head. A big fruity banana nose, sugary. The flavor is husky malts, banana, sugary candied citrus. Quite nice. Smooth.

375mL cork&cage bottle poured into old school Hoegaarden tulip glass. Empty spot on the "bottled on" space. But this seems to be the most recent batch to come to Seattle, and likely just a recent release. Pours thick golden, can’t see through it. Aroma is thick Belgian pie crust, not sweet but baked bread malts. A little pear-like esters. Flavor is flip flopped with a sharper pear ester character followed by lighter doughiness. A lighter mouthfeel than the aroma indicates. Though its still a thicker, heavier beer. That is one of the aspects that throw me off. Its a 7.5 abv beer that is thicker, heftier like a 9ish. I either want it pumped up a little more or more spritzy and lighter with a spicy/peppery character. Though, I still generally enjoy this beer.

Bottle thanks to Chow. Pours a hazy yellow gold with medium frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is yeast, funk, bubblegum. Medium mouth, bubblegum, pure sugar, yeast, light fruity finish, good.

Clear gold with a white head. Sweet candied fruit, some yeast spice, a bit of sweet dough. Smooth, medium body with plenty of carbonation. Crisp finish. Very good brew.

12.7 oz corked and caged bottle. Bottled in July. Aroma is lemony, dusty, doughy, apple, peppery. Pours cloudy pale yellow with a collapsing white head that laces a little. Taste is dry, faint tartness; flavors of Belgian yeast, apples, clove. Foamy mouthfeel. Not bad, but probably the least impressive beer I’ve had from this brewery.

Very pale, clear, has a light pear and ester nose with a touch of gum, has a dry finish with some pale malt sweetness, a dash of alcohol and some more of those phenols.
