Bottle shared in NYC - big thanks to Dr. Sandman. Pours hazy, amber-gold with a creamy, off-white head. The nose has some bread, toasted caramel, Belgian yeast, candi sugar. Light to medium sweet flavor, some muted bread, toasty sugars. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, reasonably well balanced, some ripe fruits, bread. OK.

Bottle shared in NYC. Pours hazy yellow-gold with a creamy, white head. The nose has expressive Belgian yeast, herbs, pepper, some lemon. Light to medium sweet flavor with some biscuity sweetness, subtle funk, citrus peel. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Nicely balanced to finish, pretty clean, some dry bread, straw, more rindy citrus. Nice herbal qualities. Solid.

At the brewery: Pours brownish amber with a small whitish head. Really subtle aroma that lacks the bretty funk. Kind of underwhelming and really subdued. They said that this beer probably should be aged. However, at its early point, this was not impressive in the least. If I happen upon it again, I will rerate.

At the brewery: Pours golden with a white head. Nice citrus with brett and dry hoppy aroma. Plenty of bitter hops at the front of the beer, with are quite dry. The beer then gets to be more fruity and citrus after the initial hop bitterness. BTW, this should be shifted from Golden/Blonde to Belgian Ale, for this is a quintessentially American Belgian Ale.
