Reviewed from notes. This was received in a trade.
This was poured into a chalice.
The appearance had a fairly decent looking slight hazy to light transparent golden orange color. There was a slight carbonation seen rising to fill a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving some light lacing here and there.
The smell had an apricot to plum - like aroma (I guess that’s the pluot) there gracefully letting in some general light refreshing citrus like qualities.
The taste was mainly sweet but had a light citrus bitterness to pervade a slight under coating of a tad of sweet bitterness underneath.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was somewhat subdued and felt extremely great upon my tongue.
Overall, though I got this in a trade, I have to admit I’m quite intrigued and am hoping to see this again sometime in my life.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of yeast, spices among them corriander, malt, and fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, lemons, yeast, black pepper, coriander, malt, and hay, leading to a bitter finish.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of kristina. Pours an almost clear yellow with a small white head. Fruity, yeasty and slightly tart aroma. Rich body, quite some sugars, a zesty citric touch, some herbs and again a slight tartness. Ends a little hot. 150313

Bottle at the Funky 8, Brooklyn, NYC. Kind of odd, but in an intriguing, experimental kind of way. Some ripe fruit action, moderate tang. Pretty OK overall. Drinkable stuff.

Crisp, slightly hazy orange coloured body with a bit of a peach glow and a thick, nicely laced white head about three centimetres tall. Aroma of super pungent floral notes, some plums, lavender, yeast, wheat and a bit of sugar - very fragrant, very complex and very nice! Medium-bodied; Assertive effervescence; Strong floral notes up front in the flavour with a lot of lavender, plums and grass noticeable and then fading to an acidic hit and a nice refreshing cherry finish. Aftertaste shows a good complexity with tons of fruits, grassiness, yeast and a good sweetness. Overall, a good and rather complex fruit and floral based beer with an emphasis on sweetness. I’m not quite sure where Belgian Tripel entered the picture, but this to me could be a ’Belgian Ale’, but it really belongs in Fruit/Herb/Spice category. I sampled this 75 cL bottle purchased from Half-Time in Poughkeepsie, New York on 26-December-2012 for US$15.99 sampled at home on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 18-January-2013.
