Draft. Hazy golden color, white head. lemongrass aroma. Taste is fruity straw, light booze. Decent.

Can. Tangerine, lime, biscuit malt, and straw aroma. Hazy golden yellow with small head. Lightly sweet citrus, biscuit malt, and lightly bitter straw flavor. Body a bit light. Pretty boring.

Refrigerated 12 oz. aluminum can poured into glass. Hazy light orange with small white head. Aroma is ripe blood orange, medium body, medium/light carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is ripe blood orange peels and herbal hops. The peel is a little astringent.

Can, overall, probably more like a golden ale but how can a gentlemanly golden ale be 9+%? Nice cloudy Belgian presentation when popped & poured. Smell is a little phenolic. Nice visivle co2, lively. Taste is quite well mannered for dubble er trippel. There is an initial shock of mild tartness under a peppery backbone. The alky content wants this to be a strong Belgian ale but this brew hides it down to the point that you think yer drinken a civilized Belgian around 6, heheh. I think I like this, better than average and right up thar with East End #09 - Grisette Wooden Shoe Tippecanoe Canal Jumper, 4 Brothers Heaven’s Gate, Green Flash Rayon Vert, Leute Bokbier, Ommegang Game of Thrones #1 - Iron, or Grimbergen Blonde. For room temperature, this stuff came across rather entertaining, and possibly has some of the desirable attributes of #1 orval.

Bottle. Cloudy straw color, massive white head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of lightly spiced brown bread. Taste is very bitter and has plenty of spice.

12 oz. can into a tulip ABV actually 5.2% Canned 03/17/15 so 3 weeks old A: Accidentally hard pour yields a thick, dense crackling head atop a medium pale yellow body. Good retention and fair amount of spotty lacing. Despite the light color, this beer is anything but clear. I have no problem with unfiltered beers but lots of sediment here floating immovably. Scary shit. S: Very light aroma of wheaty pale malts. Very faint grassy hops. T: Unexpectedly a sharp hop bite greets on 1st sip. Sourdough and crackers round out the light flavor. A tart note is hard to pin down but agreeable. M: Quite light as expected with crisp carbonation on the tongue. Very refreshing. O: Reminds me of Olde Hickory Piedmont which I like a lot. Not quite as good. Not nearly as expensive either. Overall, a good pilsner to knock back a few of on a hot day. At $7.50/6 @ Total Wine, I can see buying this again. I feel obligated to try at least once again.

Keg at Carrboro Beverage. Dark brown, huge foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of mint, roasted malt, citrus, chocolate. The taste is roasted malt, mint, chocolate, citrus hops. Thin-medium bodied, moderate carbonation, decent balance.
