Bottled. Clear bright golden. Aroma of bananas and pineapple. Sweet with dense, clean mouthfeel and plenty of sugar. The alcohol burn overpowers a lot of the flavours, and a lot of the rest drowns in the sugar. It’s finished off by a warming , peppery alcoholic finish. A beer can’t be this sweet if I’m to enjoy it.

Bottled. Clear brownish amber. Fresh juicy lychheelike hop aroma. Medium dry with soft rounded mouthfeel. Beautiful, solid malt character underneath a wellpointe lacquer of hops. Extremely hop aromatic, but the 150 IBU doesn’t hurt that much at all, instead the bitterness is just pleasant. Extremely drinkable for it’s size.

Bottled. Hazy amber colour. Fruity and toffeeish with plenty of almond. Soft and sweet, lighly spicy and notes of Old English marmelade. The yeast character is typical Belgian style. A very solid beer with a lot going for it.

Dark amber colour. Fresh hop aroma is very blackberryish with a woody background. Very berryish flavour overall, with a toasty malt character. Interesting beer - distinctive and flavourful.

Hazy amber colour. Very fruity/phenolic aroma. Rich syrupy malts, muscular alcohol. There is some barrel and wild yeast character...something funky anyway. It’s pretty neat stuff. The elements above are scattered all around, not the most cohesive beer but I like it.

Bottle. Dark amber -borown with a nice beige head. Fruity aroma - plum/berry/cherry - with some sweet malt underneath. You can sniff this all night. Fruity (more berry) flavor with malt/brown sugar and a bit of coffee at the end to give a little complexity. Some alcohol showing. Lacking just a bit in flavor comploexity- it seems like there’s a simple straight forward fruit at the beginning, the some coffee at the end and they’re 2 very distinct things. It’d be nice if they went together just a bit more.

Draft. Light golden beer. Apricot aroma. Big apricot flavor with some balanced malt. This is a pretty good fruit beer - fruity, not over powering, very drinkable.

Draft. Amber beer. This one just didn’t quite hit me right. It had a berry taste, but it was a bit of a pixie stix taste - fizzy, sugary, and artificial candy. Light berry aroma, some malt backing in the flavor, but it just didn’t do it for me.

Draft. Rich amber mahogony beer. Big hop aroma with just a bit of malt sweetness. Lots of caramel malt (and some darker malts) that help to provide a backdrop for the big hop flavors - citrus and resin. Easy to drink a lot of this as it hides it’s alcohol very well. Nicely done.
