Nice stuff. Florals and some citrus, coriander. Pours reddish orange with pretty good head. Light florals finish. Very nicely balanced all around and great as easy drinking Belgian beer. Really like this one. Tap.

3 week old pint can A: Poured 1 of dark beige head atop a clear deep gold body with a light swirl of haze. Long retention and spotty lace. S: Bright green citrus aroma of fresh limes and orange with sweet dough underneath. T: Brash bitterness with citrus pith and wood. Lemon lime hops with a firm drying zest note that mates well with the wood at the end. M: Light and crisply carbonated with light resin on the dry finish. O: Hits the citrus notes hard with bright aroma and flavor. Very good.
