Slight haze, thin head. Fruity, balanced. A bit of alcohol, estery depth. I’d say it’s a decent dubbel, some orangey notes.

Pale, slight haze, moderate bitterness, sort of a grassy mushroomy hop character.

Opaque, hop burn and some pale fruit hop stuff. Low malt and it needs to be higher, the balance feels a bit off.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 2025/12/05). Medium dark copper brown with small beige head. Belgian yeast, some dark fruits and esters, feint earthy toffee and caramel, light dry booze on the finish. For a straight up North American quad, not bad.

On tap at Threefold, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma has some tart red fruits, some Belgian yeast, and a touch of toffee. Flavour is gently estery and yet not too sweet, with dried fruit, some toffee, bready malt, and lightly spicy Belgian yeast. Carbonation isn’t high enough—typical of North American Belgian beers. Pleasant enough but not hitting the right notes.

On tap at Threefold. Pours a murky ruddy brown with a small beige head. Raisins, dried cherries, dry caramel, and Belgian yeast on the nose. Flavour has loads of raisins, dried fruits, cherry pits, a bit leathery, dry caramel, and estery Belgian yeast. The yeast coming through maybe a touch too estery for me, but not bad. Nice, the fruit adjuncts work well with the base.

On tap at Threefold. Pours a very murky yellow with a white head. Lots of very pithy citrus and some pine on the nose. Flavour has pulpy oranges, pith, some dry pine, lots of chalk; finishes quite dry. Way too gritty and pithy.

On tap at The Magnet, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma is super dank, with intense pot-like hops, some allium, citrus, pine, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is less abrasive, with dank, piney hops, some grassiness, and crisp biscuity malt. Dank, piney, oily finish. Good stuff.

Poured from the tap @ Threefold. Clear blonde with small white head. Mild dankness, soft tangy tropical hops, the hops become fairly subdued on the backend, finishing with a very feint, almost watery, pine hop water finish. Decent.

On tap at Threefold. Pouea murky dull yellow with a white head. Loads of bright pine, fresh grass, and citric tropical fruits on the nose. Flavour has bright, dry pine and juicy tropical fruits. None of the usual hazy nonsense. This is pretty decent.
