On Tap at the Bend BP Slightly hazy light amber Wispy off white lacing, Standard non-descript carmely malt aroma. Smooth soft sweet malt flavors with a nice fruity Belgian note. The distictive Belgian yeast flavors are subdued a bit and this is pleasant and easy.

On Tap at the Bend BP Clear golden with a slight wispy skin and lacing of off-white. Lovely sweet belgian malty aroma. Quite sweet fruity Belgian flavors, and rather slick and heavy. Expected a bit ore light and spritsy. Under attenuated maybe. Very nice flavors, Ripe light fruits and a little cereal grainiess. Soft carbonation.

On Tap at the Bend BP Slight haze small but fine and lasting white head and lacing. Classic pilsner. a bit sweet and maybe under bittered, but pleasant and tasty. No I take that back, the late IBU bite is nice. But plenty of light sweet maltinbess early.

Clear amber-brown, appley, winey character, soft, apple, pear, subtle alcohol late. Has a good barrelly character. Nothing special but a nice experiment.

On tap at Saraveza for the 5th IIPA fest, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out some farmhouse yeast upfront above anything, with maybe some subtle piney hops in there. Flavour is definitely like a Belgian IIPA, with farmhouse yeast upfront followed by piney hops. Very well-balanced and expertly crafted. A great hybrid beer.

Draft at Collins pub. Pours a golden color with a piney hop aroma. Sweet citrus front with a nice piney finish. Easy drinking, nice session beer. Not bad, but nothing super special.

375mL capped bottle poured into Duvel tasting glass. Small but thick head atop a ruby body. I think this is the best American Belgian Strong I have had in a while (not sure this is a quad). Esters are held almost fully at bay. Sweet, slightly hot raisin and cherry present but appropriately balanced by a sugar and date sweetness. No nasty astringent character, which can happen in a big beer like this. I think the sweetness works well for the beer. Walks the fine line of alcohol and sweetness but not too much on either side. Not overly sugar and well managed yeastiness. This will be a rebuy.
