On tap at Bitterroot. Pours a clear deep gold with a tan head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of Belgian yeast with some light grains and a bit of dark fruit. Flavor is Belgian yeast forward with clove, light fruits and sweet grains.

Light amber color, hazy, with frothy head. Aroma of phenol, glue. Dry mouthfeel; the flavor is very chemical. Some honey.
Quite bad.

On tap at Hilliard's, pours a dark copper with a small beige head. Aroma of Belgian yeast above anything, with no English notes. Flavour brings out dirty Belgian yeast and earthy notes. Pretty solid beer, a la a saison more than an ESB. Decent.
