Draft. Pours a clear light orange with a finger of thick white head. Aroma of banana and clove. Taste is light sweet. Belgian yeast with orange xitrus and clove. Medium bodied with a somewhat slick texture. Lively carbonation and a very long finish. Overall, awesome. Another homerun.

Draft at the rockford city market. Dirty wheat and some citrus with a little lemon and orange. Good for drinking outside on a hot day but a little light for my taste. Probably why it was designed for the market outdoors.

Draft. Pours amber with a ruby hue and minimal off-white head. Aroma is fruity and slightly tart. Plums and dried dates with citrus and toffee. Taste is light sweet with dark fruits, banana, a little bread and citrus. Full bodied with a thick texture. Lively carbonation and a super long finish. Overall, awesome. Its a little warming but the high abv is super well hidden. Awesome anniversary gift to all your fans!
