On tap at Novare Res, pours a clear blonde with a medium white head. Aroma reveals bright, spicy Belgian yeast proper-style, with some pepper, and dry bready malt. Flavour is dry and bright, with peppery Belgian yeast, some peppery notes, and light champagne-like effervescence. Dry, spritzy, wonderfully constructed. Excellent.

Bottle. Typical Belgian fruityness and yeastyness, quite generic, with some peppery hints. Some candy-like notes. Quite nice this one, nothing particular going on, just a solid Belgian ale. 647414 260118

Herber, wenig aromatischer Beginn. Geringe Süße, hintergründig metallern, trocken, ziemlich langweilig. 9/6/7/6/8/6

Bottle at home. Clear (initially) golden color, huge sized, a bit foamy, and bubbly white head that lasts for quite a long time. Aroma and flavor are malts, lightly citrus, hayish, distant yeasty notes, moderately hayish hop bitter. Quite well balanced I must say. Decent body for a light ABV beer like this and suitable average to decent carbonation. Way better than expected. Well brewed.

From Good Times Oakland, bottom of the can shows 12 in white?
Pours a hazy yellow orange, big fluffy head of foam, excellent retention and lacing.
Smell is grainy, certainly hoppy, yeasty, orange zest, hint of light tartness.
Taste is lemon and orange citrus, yeasty, very very light suggestion of tartness; that comes and goes. Little bit of bandaid like flavour that I don't dig.
Light bodied, I don't reckon that I would seek this out.
