375mL bottle, undated, as far as I can tell, drunk 8/2/25.
Clear, bright golden. Small, fairly creamy, white head.
Bright, zesty, aromatic nose with, perhaps, a pinch of Brett adding light band aid to the otherwise zesty, spicy, classic Belgian profile of stone fruit, honey and pepper. No booze noted, no crude esters, phenols. Big, round, honey-like malt with a touch of biscuit.
Clean, maybe not quite as complex as the nose, with soft honey and white bread-like malt, herbal, zesty hops and good attenuation. Fruity, peppery, with just a touch of band aid and/or Goldings-like hoppiness. Easy drinking, flavorful and showing no alcohol or crude ester/phenol character.
