On tap at the Alibi Room, pours an opaque dark golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of bananas, wheat, and some citrus fruits. Flavour brings out loads of bananas and wheat upfront, with some more intense citric notes that kick in later. Finishes on very prominent notes of banana. Solid hef, with even more dominating banana notes than usual.

650 ml bottle. Pours a hazy amber with full fluffy white head. Aromas of bubblegum, earthy wheat, and cloves. Flavors of wheat, cloves and ginger, light resin and dried apricots. Tasty.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear yellow with almost no head. Aroma of lightly tart lemony notes and lots of wheat. Flavour is quite muted, bringing out notes of wheat and subdued tart lemon. One of the weakest berliners I've had. Not good.

Has a nice bright blue bottle cap. That’s worth something, isn’t it? Very reliable appearance otherwise with a brownish body lacking carbonation and decent head that sticks around. Good sweet hops on the nose, appetizing, simple. Nice IPA flavour with some citrus notes and a dry finish with some grain undertones. This is a solid, well-made IPA: not a standout, nor especially unique, but very good.

Surprisingly this works. Pours blond but smells like mad espresso. Never seen espresso with this kind of blond Belgian, but it comes together. The floral aroma comes together with the coffee. Pours blond with good head and lacing but finishes a little bitter. On tap at Alibi Room.

Bottle - Funky fruit and coffee, with some savory weirdness. Cloudy copper with a thick foamy head. Effervescent but a dusty earthiness that is an unusual coffee flavor. So odd, but makes for fun conversation.

750 ml bottle. Pours a hazy amber with light head. Aromas of apples, peaches and dried bananas . Flavors of yeast, spice, citrus and toasted malts. Something acidic and dry in the finish that doesn’t go well - maybe the coffee influence?

Wow. This is surprisingly well done. Reminds me a little of Aventinus in taste and aroma. Pours sediment-filled brown with good head lacing. Aroma has nice florals with a little sour mash on finish and some sweetness. Booze incognito. Their best beer by a long shot. On tap at brewpub.
