750ml bottle pours out hazy golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice fruit notes tart notes and sweetness. Taste is more of the nice fruit combo and a well balanced end.

Aroma is slightly fruity but there is also a large honey character with a lot of stale malt. Medium spicy floral hop aroma that actually seems to accentuate the oxidized nature of the beer. Moderate overripe red apple and pear esters. Pours a very cloudy golden straw color with a big pillowy white head with fairly good retention. Fairly high lacing with faint legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with a pretty large ester character upfront. Lots of pear, red apple and white wine grapes. Medium honey character with some stale malt character. Light bitterness with a moderate spicy floral hop character. Lingering honey nots with some spice and floral hop character. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium high carbonation. Low astringency with medium low alcohol warmth. Overall an alright beer, but I am really not a fan of the hop character. I definitely let this sit in the cellar for too long which likely caused all the honey and stale malt notes, but I’m not sure how I would have felt about this beer when fresh. I just really don’t like beers with a strong noble hop aroma and flavor.

750 shared by DeyHolla. Unfiltered golden-tan. 750ml bottle. Steady, creamy off-white head. Lemony sour, but not on a Belgian level. Kind of sub par for the style, Lots of unfermented sugars. Golden Ale, a little spiked, not so memorable. OK.

Cloudy golden pour, with a frothy, lasting head - resembles a Hefeweizen - subtle but pleasant and complex nose of peppery and tropical hop character, moderate spices (sage, white pepper, thyme), a bit of pineapple - soft but full carbonation - light to medium bodied - flavor is moderately sweet up front, followed by mildly tangy citrus, melon rind - dries out through the middle, bringing fairly strong peppery phenols complimented fairly well by the single hop, adding even more of a spiciness - finish is dry, with lasting spiciness - a little thin/watery in the finish - needs to retain it’s body/firmness throughout, so it kind of falls apart in the end, but still fairly enjoyable.

Bottle thanks to Scott! Pours a slightly hazy pale gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice light grain note with some earthy funk and cereal. Flavor begins with light grains backed by light funk and light fruit with a nice dry finish.

Bottle @ home. Admins, I added this as a belgian ale but feel free to adjust the style as you see fit. Cloudy, yellow-orange appearance with a fluffy white head. Pretty potent fruity (pear, apple, citrus fruits), spicy, peppery, belgian yeasty, sweet malty aroma. Spicy, peppery yeasty, grapefruit, citrus hoppy, sweet, a touch toasty malty, rich fruity flavor. This doesn’t necessarily taste flawed, but it is the second straight disappointing bottle offering from these guys.
