On tap at the brewery. It’s a hazy, orange-golden beer topped by a finger-thick white head. The aroma is sweetish and honey-ish, with caramel and some alcohol. Rather fruity and peachy. Warming on the palate, medium to full body. Sweet and fruity flavor with some honey and peaches. Caramel hints. Lasting finish. A beer that shows off too much of it’s ABV, else quite nice. 130808

Super hazy deep copper coloured body with a off-white head, about a centimetre tall, and some honey glow makes it nice. Aroma of malt, honey, yeast, sugars, flowers and a touch of light spice. Medium to Full-bodied; Deep wheat and yeastie flavours with a lot of sugars, some floral notes, a touch of honey and some very light earthy spices. Aftertaste is mostly sweet with a ton of honey notes, a little lemon and citrus flavour and finishes with a lot of malt and yeast. Overall, a decent belgie with some good flavours and a nice, subtle complexity. I sampled this 50 cL swing-top bottle purchased from BevMo! in San Francisco (Geary Blvd), California on 14-January-2012 for US$5.99 sampled at home in Washington on 22-April-2012.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with no head. The aroma has notes of wood, brettanomyces, caramel, malt, and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of berries, brettanomyses, and peaches, as well as lighter notes of malt and caramel, leading to a lightly tart finish.
