Draft at Dexters. Filtered looking orange-tan. Thin, oily white head. Hmm..this one is different. Creamy big Golden Ale, reminds me of Bier De Corsaire. Creamy, lots of smooth yeast notes. Could benefit form a more Belgian effervescence, as it is it’s a little undercarbonated. Orange-fruity yeast tones, all laced with alcohol and a faint Syrian-like bitterness. Solid beer, well done.

Sampled on draft at Smokin Joes this beer poured a dark amber color with a medium sized yellow-white head. The aroma was sugary, fruity and a bit boozy. The flavor was dryish, tangy and yeasty with a note of candied fruit. Boozy yet again on the taste and especially on the sharp and tangy finish. Ok.

On tap at the brewpub. Hazy light amber color with a thin and fluffy off-white head that disappears quickly. Nil lacing. Zesty citrus aroma, with a bit of sweet spice. Medium-bodied and very smooth on the tongue with a straightforward sweet and spice balance that interplays with citrusy hops flavor. A bit of alcohol comes through as the glass progresses. The finish is lightly bitter and lingering. For a "regular" Belgian ale this is pretty darn good.
