Brewed in the tradition of creativity and disregard for conformity for which the country is renowned, we've created a "non-style Belgian" beer that tastes Belgian! This delicious chestnut coloured beer was fermented with Belgian yeast at a higher temperature to capture the characteristic fruity banana & pear esthers, which balance its full flavoured, complex malty base. It finishes with a light acidic refreshing bite, which will see off the rest of the can nicely.

Manchester Beer Festival 2020. Darker amber with a strength and a decent enough Belgian styling. Is a tad bland in taste.
