Dull hazy tan. Earthy aroma with a slight cheesiness, sweet floral notes. Fruity on the palate, with a touch of tartness. Fun, light fruitiness, pears, and plums and figs.

Tasting at SF, Vancouver
Cloudy golden color. Estery bubblegum aroma and flavor, good body, moderately sweet, hints of vanilla, quite some alcohol burn.
Not bad, b ut it's not a kind of beer I would fancy.

Poured from a 22 oz bottle. This should be 2015 Brewers Intent, not 2016 and it has Apricots. Aroma has a moderate apricot note. It is very fruity with lots of Belgian esters as well as some light oak notes. Hints of bourbon. Light malt notes with some candi sugar and honey notes. Pours a hazy, slightly dull, copper-orange with a medium sized, medium thick, slightly off-white head that recedes somewhat quickly to the edges where it lingers. Medium light lacing and moderate length legs. Flavor is moderately sweet with some light grain notes. Moderate caramel, candi sugar and honey. Medium light apricot with moderately strong fruity Belgian esters. Moderately strong bitterness. light oak and faint bourbon notes. medium light alcohol spice. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and moderate alcohol warmth. Overall, a drinkable beer, but its kind of weird too. It is very fruity, but the bitterness is too high and clashes until your palate adjusts.

Bottle thanks to Russell. Pours a hazy gold with small white head that lasts. The aroma is yeast, pure sugar, booze. Medium body, yeast, sugar, toffee, boozy finish, very good.
