I don’t get any Belgian character out of this beer. Light wheat in the flavor. Filtered yellow appearance. Lightly sweet malt and no perceivable hops. OK palate.

Bottle: Poured very dark brown with lasting medium tan head. Aroma of chocolate and roast malt. Roast malty body with chocolate and hop notes. As bear warmed, the finish became fuller and mouthfeel greater. I found two stray bottles of this in a market. Is this no longer being bottled?

Bottle. Mild hoppy aroma. Poured pale gold with lating white head, like a lager. Citrusy, with a hint of malt and bread. Lasting spicy finish on the front of the tongue. I drank this after hours of yard work in the hot sun.

12 oz bottle a friend brought to dinner. Pour is clear golden with a pretty big white head. Actually looks quite a bit like a pale lager in the glass. Aroma is pretty faint though some malt poked through. The taste was really chemically on the first sip. Pretty sure that’s a load of diacetyl. After the original blast, this settles into a pretty dull beer.

Bottle from my son-in-law, Colin; Nose of grassy hops with a little floral added; hazy light amber with a medium off-white head; flavor of piney, grassy hops with a small amount of hop bitterness, along with a lemon note; finsh is mildly bitter. Not a hopbomb, but decent!

Bottle: Clear golden color with a small and short-lived white head. Nose is almost nonexistent. Just a hint of malt and grain is detectable. Taste is a little grainy and metallic. Some hints of hop bitters and sourdough breadiness.

Aroma of dark toasted malt backed by chocolate. Dark brown color with virtually no head. Medium body. Starts with dark molasses sweetness, followed by some bits of chocolate. There is also a decent amount of bitter - unless it is that burnt malt thing. Finishes dry. Mouth smackingly good. The long result is bitter with toasted malt.

Cask at the brewpub at the brewery. Clean caramel aroma. Clear dark amber color. Off-white head that sticks around. Soft, luscious, fruity, malty with floral/fruity hop. The bitter balancing the malt does not seem to be pine or citrus. Fresh foral/fruity finish, hints of malt here at the end, mild bitter, and some possible citrus sour at the back of the mouth. Fantantastic.

Bottle. Nice odor of caramel and toffee. Coppery amber color with an off-white head that foamed respectably. Starts a bit tart. Decent body. Caramel, matching bitter, bit of sour. Ok. Maybe a bit too much carbonation, but that goes away quickly. Seems very balanced through the finish.
