Taster at Grav South. Dark amber, clear, creamy head. Aroma is leathery, tobacco and kind of smoky. More scotch than Belgian. Yeast an afterthought. Seemed nice and went downhill.

Bottle from Whole Foods. Bright golden pour with soft foamy head. Light citrusy aroma, malts and grains, bready. recalls a pils with a bit more hops. Taste is more of the lemon zest, pine and citrus, malts. Clean, sharp. Enjoying this.

Bottle from Cap Tap. Pours copper tinged gold with a creamy/bubbly white head. Aroma is tropical/citrus/floral. Med body. Flavor is a lot of hop arguably matching the aroma over pale malt, but there's a fairly strong herb/veg/dank note. Not unpleasant - just puzzling. Almost pale stone fruits wanting to be dank? Pretty tasty ale in the event.
