Capped 750 from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours hazy orange tinged gold with a nice near white creamy/frothy head. Aroma is Belgian yeast/spice with some floral accompaniment. Near med body. Flavor is mildly spicy, a little bready, and heavily floral. Based only on my impression I’d put it in as woodruff, but clearly it is chamomile. And there’s a lot of it. Arguably there’s a little earthiness in it. It’s quite different, and it’s very good.

Pour is a clear gold with a small white head. Aroma is some pale malts and not much else. Flavor has a decent cereal malt with almost a little roasted aspect. Finish is is clean and bitter. Not really my fav style but this is very drinkable especially with the low abv.

Pour is a clear bronze with a small white head. Aroma is a big Belgian yeast nose with some lingering sugar. Flavor is a dry pale malt with a almost slight apple. Finish is clean with a little spice toward the end. A well made beer that smells fantastic.
