25.4 oz corked and caged bottle purchased at MGM Liquors in Golden Valley, Minnesota. The pour is a clear golden orange with a crackling two inch off white head that falls with loose bubbles. The aroma is soft clove Belgian yeast, toasted cracker malt and a bit of fruit floral hop. Some flat grass present as well. The taste is a pleasant blend of the clove Belgian yeast, the malt and dry floral hop. The palate is light to medium bodied, high carbonation level and a dry finish. Clean, easy drinking beer.

Bottle, thanks for sharing! Pours a near clear dark brown with a light brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy grains, must, chocolate, dark fruits and just a hint of spice underlying. Flavor has sweet grains and light spice with a bit of a boozy finish.
