Brewery draught, 12/5/25.
Mostly clear, bright goldenrod with a small, but firm, white head.
Fruity with leafy, earthy, peppery hops that are similarly bright like the Clockwork Mandarina. Yeast is very tasteful, better than Chouffe Dobbelen, with less crude ester/phenol. Just some fruitiness, lighter white pepper and a bit of stone fruit. Biscuity malts gently balance.
Fruity, medium-bodied with excellent malt depth and attenuation. Herbal, grassy and floral hops aren't my favorite, but there's significantly lower crude yeast character than most Belgian beers of this style. Nice snappy, malty, fruity finish.

Pours a hazy straw from a tap. Citrus and yeast aroma, flavor is nice. Good beer.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. White soapy head with good retention recedes leaving sheet lacing. Sweet earthy yeast and citrus aromas. Medium bodied with sweet candi and tangerine upfront turning to hot caramel and yeast before the lasting bitter pith finish.
