Pours pale amber into a shaker. White micro head subsides to skim the surface leaving no lacing. Caramel and mild lime aromas. Crisp with very muted wheat and limes from front to back. Somehow tastes macro and style-bending at the same time...

Bottle from a party last night. Beautiful copper color with a foamy off-white head. Nice aromas of citrus and other fruit. Medium body minus with some sprightly carbonation. A little light in the flavor department. Touch of citrus zest, and some rough light roast caramel. A bit gummy in the finish. Good enough to drink. Pretty weak for a Belgian.

Bottle that I found in Sainsburys, Kidlington, Oxon recently, consumed Dec 08. Pours hazy golden moving to light amber with a large white fluffy head. Nice wheaty nose with some spices and yeastiness in there. This is far better than expected and actually quite decent and refreshing. If I was being critical I suppose the spices and citrusiness which are very much in evidence are not quite subtle enough and its a little sweet but I really didnt mind it at all despite these faults.

Seems to be a mild APA. Has some bitter hop attributes. Finish has some personality sneaking in there.
