Bottle thanks to Adam, thanks! Pours a clear light gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of grass and hay with a bit of cookie and sweet grains underlying. Flavor has some bitter citrus with earthy grass and a good amount of grass and hay backing.

Bottle, many thanks amazinwrldfood. Hazy yellow color with nice white head. Aroma is fresh spicy yeasts, feels very Belgian, bananas. Taste is fruity and spicy yeasts, some bananas and other estery fruits, quite hoppy as well. Rather high, but fine-bubbled foamy carbonation. A classic take on the Belgian Blond style - high carbonation, estery fruits, and spicy yeasts. Probably comparable to Duvel, just a bit lighter and more easy-going.

Hazy yellow with little white head. Aroma is green stuff, grapes, some fruits. Taste is grape, citric sourness, with some hoppy bitterness, some juice as well. Full body, pleasant mouthfeel, still easy to drink. Ok.

Pours gold into a tulip. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving trailing sheets to coat surface. Caramel and resin aromas. Sharp with hay and sourdough upfront turning to citrus and resin before the lasting pith finish.

Draft pour pint during my first ever visit to Russian River. Already quite a memorable beer with the setting alone. Hazy golden yellow pour. Has a Belgian yeast and spicy grain aroma that you have to dive into the glass a but to get. A tropical fruity hop profile that leads to a desert dry finish. Full of flavor though. Has a lemon flavor without much tart to pair. Overall a solid Belgian.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours clear gold with a creamy white head. The nose has some simple dry pale bread, grass, biscuit, hay. Light to medium sweet flavor with notes of sourdough bread, mellow bitter grass and hay, citrus peel. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Light grassy bitterness on the finish, hints of chamomile, straw, dry dough. Not bad.
