On tap at Strathcona, pours a hazy bronze orange with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out notes of bubblegum upfront, followed by candied sugar and lots of fruity esters. Flavour is very estery, with bubblegum, candied sugar and lots of fruity esters. Nothing like an authentic dubbel, as feared. Estery and messy. North American breweries need to go to Belgium to learn how to brew these styles.

Draught at the breweryCloudy light amber color, sparse head. Some smell of swamp water, and American Belgian yeast. Soft mouthfeel, with mild residual sweetness, not showing its strength; it has no malt depth, instead it has a strong character of candies from the fake yeast (think of American Tripel), and vegetables (tomatoes, celery), ending with a veil of pithy bitterness.
Most homebrew is better than this.
Frankly, poor beer for the uninformed drinker.
