12.7 oz bottle. Aroma is peppery, banana custard, clove. Pours hazy golden with a half finger bone-white head that settles into a ring fairly quickly. Taste has light banana and clove notes with some background hop bitterness.

Tavour: pours gold with white head. Aroma is Belgian yeast, light floral hoppiness, touches of fruitiness and hints of spice. Lightly bitter, somewhat sweet, little woody. Well done with some size to it, but still immense drinkability.

375mL bottle drunk 7/31/25.
Clear, brassy-golden. Large, white head, slowly to cover.
Nose shows coriander, grass, black pepper and softer esters. No clove, no bubble gum, no banana, no cotton candy. Lots of honey, light table sugar, mild Belgian yeast. What I'm not getting is much of any foeder. Maybe a touch of tannin/toast/mild wood. But it's clean, not boozey, nicely-attenuated.
Soft, a bit of bread/crust, with mild coriander-like spice (could just be phenol). Not crude, not that I'd expect that from Gabe. Good attenuation and body with a touch of honey-like malt at points. Soft and very flavorful, nothing off or unwanted. Lingering spice/herb. Just a touch of powdered sugar, otherwise top-notch stuff.

Poured from 375mL bottle. Hazed blonde with small white head. Simple golden ale base with some feint saaz notes, the oak foeders give a dry-ness and feint woody quality. Decent.

On draft at the brewery tap room. Pours a slightly hazy pale gold with short off white head. Aromas of sour peach. Flavors are a bit tart with some hint of sweetness.
