The colour is dark blond, hazy to cloudy, with medium sized head. The aroma is refreshing, bitter orange peel, spices, intense. Smooth mouthfeel, fairly dry; the Belgian yeast is strong and obviously hides any Brut character (if there was); it's a bit salty; robust bitterness, with orange peel; the Belgian yeast character in the finish is a bit too strong for my liking.
Good beer.

Smells of good sweet hops, bright at least. Has a semi-cloudy yellow body with minimal white head. Flavour is soft grapefruit with hints of lemon. There's crispness indeed on the mouth and fullness there. It's not exceptional, okay construction yet somehow manages to be merely average.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Hazy pale yellow with minimal white head. Dry subtle yeast with mild berry-like hop. Interesting combo.

Bottle, Blackfish Liquor. Golden with a slight haze. Thin head. On the nose, there's a bit of gooseberry, touch of blackberry, On the palate, it has a fair bit of malt stickiness, but also that sort of brut dryness, and then there's the berryish hop note.
