Draft at Mekong Restaurant. Poured a kind of ruby orange amber color with a small, wispy head. Aroma was lots of tart cherry character, very light sweetness. Some light stonefruits, cherry character. Funky, light crisp tartness to it.

Sampled on draft at Zeno’s in State College this beer poured a hazy amber color with a small foamy white head. The aroma was sourish with notes of pineapple and soy sauce. The flavor was sour and chalky with pineapple and soy sauce. Long finish. Medium body. Ok.

Poured from a 32 oz crowler. Aroma is sweet with a medium light honey note. Some light stone fruit notes with some cherry and a touch of tropical fruit. Some caramel with a bit of toasted bread. Light acidity and faint citrus notes. Pours a slightly hazy, copper color with a large, frothy, rocky, light tan head that recedes to a thin film of foam that clumps in the center. Light lacing and no legs. Flavor is moderately acidic with a moderately strong malt profile. Lots of caramel, honey and some lighter toasted bread. Medium light bitterness. Some stone fruit notes and over ripe tropical fruit with bits of cherry. The honey character gives it a strong oxidation note. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, not a good beer. I’m not sure why, but this beer has such a strong a oxidation that really conflicts with the light acidity.

Kind of a typical Flemish red/brown. This one was a little extra foamy in head & more lace. Flavor was a bit more bitter in finish too.

Pours a hazy golden-copper from a bottle. Aroma of lemon, green apple, like a french pastry. Flavor does add notes of apricot, apricot jam in particular, maybe some quince. A little barnyard funkiness and a hint of pine. Good sourness. Very good beer.
