Slight gushing to absolutely huge yellow head over a slowly mounting amount of hazed amber to mahogany beer. Citrus, old winevats, vinous, lactic acid, red fruit and oranges on wine with a tad vinegar. Spiced bitter flavour, with again fruity and citrussy touches, slightly pharmaceutical, and perpendicular on the nose. Creamy MF, overcarbonated, thick-ish, slick body. Utterly unbalanced. Moreover, I fear for some infection, if relatively benign.

Capped 750 from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours hazy orange gold with a 3 finger collapsing whiteish head. There’s a strong citrus, light stone fruit aroma. Backed by some earthiness and yeast/spice. Full bodie - cause of the carb. Flavor is spice/yeast, banana, light stone fruit, touch of barnyard. This is delicious. Obviously very, very underrated. There is a tendency towards cod liver oil towards the finish, but a sophisicated palate welcomes the new.

Bottle: Golden to deep golden, hazy to cloudy, big - very slowly collapsing - creamy white head, sweet grainy-yeasty (aromas of turpentine!) nose, covering the - presumably - distinctive hops; moderate to solid sweet-bitter flavour, medium to full bodied, creamy MF; lingering drier bitter-sweet finish with a phenolic yeasty-fruity aftertaste. O.K. ...............

Capped 750 from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO. Label says tripel. Gushed a bit. Pours dirty dishwater orange gold with a temporary fizzy white head. Aroma seems to be warm caramel/toffee with anise. Full bodied. Anise it is. Almost medicinal. Coriander? It is rather warming, so perhaps that’s those seeds. And it is a little citric. Somehow it all blends together in a very good way. Finishes fairly bitter. Note: foam keeps coming out of the bottle!

Almost nothing but head while pouring. Amber to copper red cloudy beer, making this the most inaccurately named beer ever. Enormous light beige head, unstable, adhesive. Aroma: very ripe to rotten fruits, citric touches, come caramel, little bit of pickled gherkins, bit soapy. MF: too much carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sweet, rotten fruits, wet grains, some mocha, citrus. Aftertaste: bit sour, unpleasant bitterness, more lemony touches.

Hazy amber-brown body with a lightly brown head. Aroma of both caramel and stronger malts and hops. Moderately sweet, heavily bitter flavour. Distinct roasted malts and hops. Heavily carbonated. Bit on the unbalanced side, but still quite nice.

Small, tan head, fast gone over muddy cola-coloured beer, orange sheen. Bananaester, near a German Weizen, bubble gum. Dry wood, but still mixed with banana (even overripe banana). Fuselalcohols, for sure. Medium bodied at least, quite carbonated. Chocolate and non-sweet liquorice flavours in the aftertaste. Not bad at all. The nose is unsettling for a Belgian beer, let alone for something aimed at IPA...

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of straw, yeast, and fruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of matl, yeast, and fruit, leading to a dry finish.

Sampled from the tap at bangers and lace. Pours a clear reddish amber with an earthy brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is full of a smokey wood note, kind of reminds me of a campfire with a bit of sweet grain backing. Flavor starts a bit thin with bread and light chocolate notes and then finishes with campfire and chalkyness.
