Sample in a flight at the tasting room. Dark, opaque, purplish-brown, with a small, khaki head. The nose is mild, tart berries, black tea, straw, and toffee. Surprisingly dry, with a light tart and bitter finish. Heavy body, thick, hard, and sticky. NIcely complex and dry, but hard to drink. Not really enjoyable, sadly.

Taster in a flight at the tasting room. Pours bright orange, with a medium, fluffy, off-white head. The aroma is hay, strong orange juice and bitter orange peels, wet grass, and green bananas. Sweet and sugary, with a nice, mellow bitterness and a bit of funk. Heavy body, chewy, thick, and hard. Well done Belgian style, and the oranges add a lot. Quite enjoyable.

Sample at the Feast of Saint Arnold. Clear red color, with a medium, white head. Lemonade, strawberry, menthol, lime peel, and cloves. Sweet, with perfect balance with light bitterness. Light body, crisp, fruity, and refreshing. This is a pristine shandy, with complexity and fruity stainless.

Sample at the Feast of Saint Arnold. Big nose of roasted malts, molasses, baker’s chocolate, and chicory. Very sweet, with a strong roasted bitterness that lingers into an unpleasant aftertaste. Heavy body, syrupy, and thick. This is a solid and fun RIS.

Sample at the Feast of Saint Arnold. Muddy brown, with a big, creamy brown head. Earthy, with a bit of chocolate and salt. Sweet and a bit bitter. Medium body, creamy, fluffy, and a little astringent. This is a weak and weird Alt.

Sample at the Feast of Saint Arnold. Pours light, hazy, almost clear, with a big bubbly head. The nose is seltzer and strong cucumber, with notes of ginger and lemon. Pretty dry, and lightly bitter. Light to medium body, crisp, a little acidic, and wonderfully effervescent. This is a light, fun, and creative beer.
