Tap at Alchemy. Filtered looking yellow-tan. Thin head. Really smooth and balanced. Nice lime dominated citrus depth. The tea shines as well, mellowing the whole affair. Vanilla, honey tones, very sessionable, clean, delicate...but still manages to have some of that spice bomb thing going on. Great palate, OK beer.

Sample at the Clybourn brewpub. Hazy golden color with a medium foamy white head that burns away steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, yeast and malt. Medium body with flavors of zesty orange, biscuit malt and yeast. The finish is mildly spiced with a citrusy aftertaste. Above average overall.

Draft at Bavarian Lodge. Bright golden ale color, thin foam on surface. Light nose with toasty Belgian malts, a bit of hop, and a whiff of potpourri spices. First sip feels like it should be sugary, but they seem to have let it ferment out further, and then the spice combo keeps it from getting too sweet. Not a session ale you can relax to; this one demands your full attention. Don’t know that I’m picking out the green tea here, more of a "tea with lemon" impression, like a slight taste of tea astringency. it’s a fine beer but I keep waiting for something more. Call me spoiled.

Enjoyed on tap at the mega Whole Foods while getting groceries and watching the Champions league final. Appearance somewhat cloudy golden hue with thin white head that rims around the chalice glass. Aroma of Belgian yeast, cloves, banana, and slight bubble gum. Taste is pretty smooth with a slight crispness in the end, not really a ’bite’ per se but just a crisp finish. This has a bit of spice probably from the clove, the banana is also somewhat diminished. One flavor doesn’t stand out, it is well balanced and flavorful but also a bit light. Its nice, a good beer. I wouldn’t say its worth $8 though.
