On tap at Station Ho.st, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out candied sugar, along with Belgian yeast and some cotton candy. Flavour is wonderfully structured, expressing the Belgian yeast well, with candied sugar and cotton candy further subdued. The sweetness is low enough to be acceptable for the style. Very good.

Very good & high, very dense off-white head, quite stable leaving shards of lace over bright orange-golden beer. Yeast intoned, quite bready smell. Toasted malts, garden herbs, faint hops and a whiff of smoke. Bitter-dry, again non-C hops. Some malt underneath, but with little or no sweetness. Again garden herbs flavourwise. Not much going on, but warming up, fruity esters appear. Fairly high attenuation hints at white candi sugar. Good carbonation, bit gristslick + some hopoils. Medium bodied. One to make the septet full?
