Hazy orange, small, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of banana peel, orange, apricot, pepper, clove, vague dill. Taste has sweet banana, orange & apple, spicy clove accents, herbal too, bit wheaty over a yeasty, bready-honey malty base. Floral hoppy finish, wheaty & minerally, in balance with the stylewise expected spices & yellow fruits. Hidden alcohol. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Classic Tripel with a twist; clean, correct.

Hazy ochre, small, off-white head. Aroma of mango, orange juice, tangerine peel, lychee, white grape. Taste has sweet mango & orange, sourish citrus zest, yeasty, bit acidic. Floral hoppy finish with zesty grapefruit & bitter citrus peel. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Very nice, excellent play between yeast and hops.

Clear amber, stable, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of biscuit, red apple, red grape, caramel, raisin. Taste has sweet apple, orange & grape over caramelly maltiness, bit syrupy, leaning towards 'Fanta' even, but balanced by a herbal hoppy bittereness & orange peel; though red fruit & yeast linger into the finish. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Interesting & enjoyable starting beer by this new brewery.
