Can from Premier in Buffalo. Pours cloudy gold-copper, sheet of soapy foam. Taste thick mildly sweet bready malts. Slight estery, mild apples, touch bitter on the finish. Simple, solid, really good.

On tap at Monk’s Cafe in Philadelphia. Hazy medium gold color. Frothy white head. Dank citrus aroma. Flavor is bittersweet citrus with hints of orange and lemon. A wisp of yeasty funk adds another level of complexity. Wonderfully balanced and smooth on the palate. Mildly hopped with a hint of spice in the finish. Delicious.

Bottle from an online shop, drunk while restoring my grandfather's LK-72 tube amp. Medium gold light haze, fine small head. Nose is flowery, honey, hint of wild fermentation perhaps. The taste is fantastic, sour hints and complex but refined herbal notes, full mouthfeel with amazingly fine carbonation. Subtle caramel hints behind all that complexity. Nicely dry with earthy hop bitterness. Excellent Belgian pale!
