Undated can (late 2024), drunk 4/20/25.
Clear, bright golden. Large, fairly creamy, white head.
Classic Belgian yeast gives off highly fruity esters with a touch of earthiness, as well as typical white pepper. Rich white bread, honey, light biscuit from the malt creates good balance. Not boozey.
Soft, malty, rich, on the sweeter side. To that end, it's not cloying or anything, and I appreciate the big maltiness. But it's just a bit too burly, sticky, sweet, I think. A higher attenuation and crisp/snappy finish would really work wonders here. Vanilla, sugar cookies, cake and honey emanate from the huge malts. Stone fruit-like esters and plentiful white pepper-like phenolics. Not boozey.

16 oz can received in a trade with ClarkVV, thanks buddy! Flavor has a spiced and mildly fruity-ester character. Maybe a trace of bubblegum. The Belgian yeast is displayed nicely. Crisp texture and ends clean. Spot on the style.
