On tap at the Fairview BP clear deep orange with a thin fine white head. Soft light pitted fruit in the aromas. Some peach and apricot. Flavors are a little bit more of the continental French/Belgian yeast and more light fruity notes. The ABV is apparent but not overpowering. A big smooth sipper. Surprised at the high IBU #
