On tap @ the brewery with Justin. Hazy, light yellow appearance with a white head. Some candy, lemon, light dankness in the nose. Moderate plus sweetness, moderate bitterness. More sweet than their other offerings. Somewhat herbal with banana and lemon. Fine but not as good as their hoppy offerings.

Tulip at the brewery - I really appreciate the simplicity of the approach here - one malt (belgian pils), one hop (saaz), yeast, and candi sugar - it really allows the.yeast to be showcased well, and creates a subtle elegance that perhaps not everyone will appreciate, as they want a certain bludgeoning of the palate in such a strong beer - lightly hazy gold - nose has esters of pear and apple, white grape, grassy saaz, floral hoppiness, slight.minerality, very mild phenolics - flavor is.lovely, delicate, dry, and herbal/floral - nice to see in an american-made strong belgian - a nice saaz bite and moderate mineral create a nice dry spiciness - white pepper phenolics - pear esters, a touch of banana, but nothing strong - some sav blanc character - herbal finish - floral notes in the nose are a little soapy, but otherwise well-executed.
