750 ml bottle into signature tulip glass, bottled in 2/2019. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy pale golden yellow color with a 2-3 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with amazing retention, that reduces to a huge cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Amazing appearance. Aromas of big lemon, orange, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red apple, white grape/wine, fruit skin, peppercorn, clove, light banana/bubblegum, candi sugar, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey, herbal, floral, wood, grass, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, grape juice, candi sugar, pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, orange, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red apple, white grape/wine, fruit skin, peppercorn, clove, light banana/bubblegum, candi sugar, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey, herbal, floral, wood, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate peppery yeast spiciness; herbal, floral, grassy bitterness; and light grape tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red apple, white grape/wine, fruit skin, peppercorn, clove, light banana/bubblegum, candi sugar, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey, herbal, floral, wood, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, grape juice, candi sugar, pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with an awesome malt/bitter/spiciness balance; and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness and carbonation. High carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Mild increasing warmth of 9.5% after the finish. Overall this is an amazing fruited Belgian strong pale ale! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, grape juice, candi sugar, pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; dangerously smooth and fairly crisp/clean to drink with the modestly bitter/spicy/drying finish. Amazingly well rounded house Belgian yeast and wine grape juice complexity; with balanced sugars, pale/wheat malts, and earthy hops. Mild residual sweetness with crisp dryness. Very well attenuated for the ABV. A highly enjoyable offering, and perfect example of the style. I love their Belgian house yeast as usual.

Bottle at home for season premiere from Total Wine. Lovely orange gold with two finger head. Nose is yeasty and fruity with some honey. Tastes of wine grapes, honeysuckle, cantaloupe, orange, yeast. Dry palate. Finish is lovely.

Belgiany, yeasty Wheaty, golden hue and honey banana hints. Tis a lovely day to speak to the the god of death. Definitely a bit of a white wine dry finish too.

750 c&c from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours translucent gold with a foamy white head. Fruity aroma - berry - even white berry. Med body at least. Flavor is quite Belgian - malt with that spice note. The yeast has nicely balanced the berry fruit. A bit sweet; a bit earthy; reasonably dry overall. Bitter, moderately. It's what a Belgian should be, based on my experience. Mouth smacking. Excellent. Delicious.
