Taster pour at the source. Appearance is cloudy dark yellow/light brown with 1/2 finger-width light head. Aroma is fairly weak wheat, Belgian yeast, esters. Taste is stronger than aroma, with traditional wheat, Belgian yeast, but also tart/sour contributions and surprisingly bitter. Palate is medium bodied with average texture and tart finish. Overall, maybe I got a bad batch or pour because this is nothing like earlier ratings. Not doing it for me.

Bottle purchased at Prost. Small carbonation and small white foam lacing the snifter. Aroma is fruity yeast domination and mild floral tones.
The yeast has a nice presence with some lingering herbal tones in the finish. Medium body with nice fruity and candied fruity taste. Good attenuation. Some light sweet caramel but balanced with the herbal rose hips. This is nicely made.

Bottle from The Quiky Mart. Slightly hazy deep golden bordering on amber with a good sized off white head that persists. Sweet bready maltiness with hints of toffee and fruit. Light pepper and spicy phenols round this out nicely. Bit of a lingering hop bitterness in the finish. Pretty tasty well made beer.
