Bottle at the RBWG 2014 grand tasting, thanks! Pours a near clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a light grassy hopiness with a touch of citrus with a grain backing. Flavor has more bitter citrus with the grass, a bit of dankness and a grain backbone.

Supposedly this is done in the style of Duvel, so I guess I’ll use a Duvel glass. Growler from the brewery filled about 45 minutes ago. Pours a hazy orange-tinted lemon yellow color with a large white frothy head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of doughy bread, yeast, peach, lime and other citrus, and caramel. Taste is also very bready with an almost nutty vibe. Some citrus, plum and berries with strong bitter hop notes. Strongly carbonated. Medium bodied.
