On Tap at the brewpub. Hazy orange amber with a modest sized but dense creamy light tan head. Lacing is coarse and spotty. Malty belgian yeasty sweet aroma. Damp potting soil and over ripe bananas. Flavor was at first classic sweet malty Belgian but quickly reveals an odd metallic chalky slant. woody and a bit of beauty bark. Full smooth palate and a fairly soft carbonation. Some of that banana and clove spice on the trailor but subdued and mild. Odd and somewhat forgettable.

Draft: Cloudy golden/orange color with a medium white head and moderate lacing. Nose is citrus and wheat with a bit of spices. The taste is orange, bananas, wheat, cloves, and a slight spiciness that I can’t pinpoint. Very light bitters and a lingering crisp, citrus finish. Overall impression is very good.

Draft: Yellow pour with a medium white head and light lacing. Nose is mild of yeast, breadiness, and fruit? The taste confirms a hint of fruits with light breadiness and hints of bitters. Different than I expected, but not bad.

Draft: Pours a chestnut brown with reddish notes. Smaller white head and light lacing. Nose is heavy on the malt with earth tones and caramel. The taste is more malt oriented with a toasty feel, earthiness, and nuts. A sweeter maltier feel overall. Not bad.

Draft: Pours a reddish copper color with a lasting head and good lacing. Nose of citrus and piney hops, some malt. The taste is more citrus hop dominated, but a nice malt balance too. Some caramel notes. A piney hop bitterness in the trailer.

Draft: Pours a very dark amber with reddish tones, large white head, and thick lacing. Nose is faint malt, earthiness, and floral hops. The taste is more of hops than of malt; a little earthiness and some florals. Lingering finish of light bitters. Different from the mainstream ambers I’ve tried recently - in a good way.

Draft at brewpub: Orange & amber color is mostly transparent with a little haziness. Nice white head and very thick lacing. Nose is light, but floral and citrus hops are dominant. Taste is packed with floral hops, citrus, grapefruit, dandelion, and pine. The sweetness of the malt and caramel does a great job leading into a bitter, dry finish. IMO, very well done.

Draft at brewpub: Dark reddish brown color with a medium sized foamy beige head and good lacing. Nose is musky of malt and earth. Taste is dark fruits with smokey hues and an odd sweetness. The flavors were competing a bit. It could have been a little better balanced. Finish is more smokey and a little bitter.
