Wine glass at the brewery - hazy gold with a substantial but short-lived head - looks like Orval when it is first poured - nose is just lovely - soft herbs, rustic grains, peaches, white grape, light funk, rock candy - prickly mouthfeel - dry and rustic - loads of soft herbal character, moderate bitterness, soft wheat - peppery finish, with some lingering funky peach and white grape - light finishing minerality - exceptional.
