On tap at The Church by The Lost Abbey, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma has gentle piney hops, melon, and soft fruitiness. Flavour has soft piney hops, gentle melon and other stone fruits, and a dry bready malt base. Great soft pine and stone fruitiness. Very good.

Bottle purchased long ago and cellared for 7 years. Pours clear and deep, dark brown with than head. Raisins, dark cherry and a bit of candied syrup on the aroma. Flavor is baking spices, cola nut, molasses and black strap. Slight chocolate. Nice beer and lots of flavor left after 7 years!

Tropical up front, green mango, tart, touch of funk, some currant and a nice sharpness from the barrel. Lengthy.

Sample at Denver Rare Beer Tasting XVI (Last Call) on 10/09/2025. Slightly cloudy yellow-gold color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lace. Oaky and lemony aroma with malt and yeast in the background. Medium body with flavors of tart lemon, oaky vanilla, mildly funky yeast and doughy malt. The finish is tart and oaky with a lemony aftertaste. Good beer overall.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear deep gold colored body that supports a nice slightly off white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up yeasty ester like fruitiness followed by soft smelling tropical hops, a dash of citrus hops and then a hint of spicy hoppiness. Another pull reveals a sense of dry mango cotton candy. The taste delivers fairly complex kind of Belgium like yeastiness with some esters, some yeasty spices (leaning peppery but not peppery) and then heading into some soft tropical fruity hoppiness. I'm getting vague citrus hop flavor and slivers of bitterness toward the finish. Pretty fun brew.

Hoppy, grainy, fruity, citrus and green grass, a bit earthy. Nice but lacks some crispness and freshness, a tad disappoint.

US Pint can, poured into an old Corsendonk stemmed tulip glass on 20th August 2025. Daughters house in Laguna Hills. Really enjoyed this, one of the best beers I've had for some time. Dark old gold body, white crown. Hop bitter and just enough maltiness to make it semi sweet for my sweet tooth. Blow me away!

Clear golden yellow with nice white head. Lemon, biscuit malt, and grass aroma. Mildly sweet lemon, biscuit malt, and moderately bitter grass/fresh hay flavor. Nice body and balance.
