On tap. Pours a light mahogany with light foamy head. Aromas of biscuits and toasted malts. Flavors of dry nutty biscuits, grass, and toast. True to style.

Draught at the brewery
Murky blond color with compact head. Mild aroma, some spice, vegetables, puke, lightly footy. Good body strength, smooth mouthfeel, highly carbonated; it has some spicy yeast character, very light banana, but unfortunately a very strong component of vegetables, celery, cabbage, and booze; correct bitterness, rather dry final.
Unpleasant. I don’t remember having ever had anything similar brewed in Belgium.
Also, 3.45$ at the source for 6oz is not reasonable.

On tap at 33 Acres, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a very small white head. Aroma brings out notes of banana, light spiciness and Belgian yeast. Flavour is pretty authentic, with notes of banana, light orange peel, some clove, Belgian yeast and light spice. Extremely well-balanced, with a rather dry palate (though not bone dry like Tripel Karmeliet). Very nice stuff. One of the brewery's best.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy light amber color with compact head, nitro-like. It has a bit too much vegetables aroma and flavor; the mouthfeel is smooth, the flavor is malty too, sweetish, there is some Belgian yeast character, it has correct bitterness. It’s also slightly metallic in the final.
I had Belgian beers similar to this one, but they were not the best ones. Clumsy. The vegetable presence is upsetting.

On tap at 33 Acres, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out a hybrid of Belgian yeast and American hops, with notes of spice, banana, and grassy hops. Flavour is about the same, with a pronounced hop character that shines through atop notes of banana, clove, spices, and doughy malt. Well-balanced and drinkable, though nothing special here.

Cloudy with a thin head, aroma has light esters, bubblegum phenols and pepper. Sweet, plasticy, yeasty, finishes way too sweet, with harsh alcohol. A step backwards for these guys.

On tap at the brewery. It is a nice looking orange-copper gold with a thin filmy head. A solid c-hop bouquet that is citrusy but a touch metallic. It’s earthy and has a good clean bitter hop flavor of citrus and pine bark. Rough carbonation but it works with this style. Good for hop lovers.

On tap at the brewery. As the California common warmed up the malts kicked in making it more nicely balanced and boosting its rating. Pretty good. Malty, easy drinking and I got used to the mouthfeel it was the first I finished  so I can see why it is  one of their core beers. Much maltier than other California commons I have had.

On tap at the brewery. A super cloudy light honey gold, mild coriander, celery salt, aniseed & orange zest a restrained balanced aroma compared to Steamworks overdone wit. The same rough carbonation, it must be the water. It has very sharp CO2. The taste is good, balanced witbier spices, citrus & wheat. Really nice wheatiness to it.  Lovely. —-2022 can from Lopia in Kyoto—— I actually had the chance to visit their brewery in Vancouver when they were pretty new. 33 Acres of Sunshine French Blanche 5% Very pale straw gold with eggshell white foam and a nice spicy coriander and wheat aroma. Light bodied with a crisp finish. This is a very enjoyable and satisfying Belgian wit, especially on a hot day like today.
