Grumbler brought back from my friend Steve.
This was poured into a pilsener.
The appearance was a hazy yellow to orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute. Light lacing was there and ends up smoothing it’s way around the glass.
The smell was a sweet crisp citrusy tangerine memorable combination of floral notes.
The taste took all of those flavors to combine and come across in a sweet crisp way.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a good sessionability about it. The carbonation was there and decent for the style and good for me. Gentle yet somewhat harsh citrus rolls across my tongue.
Overall, premium lager, hot damn, this is definitely one of the better ones of its style.

Bottle thanks to my friend Matt: Poured a golden white with fluffy white head. Aroma is strong Belgian yeast, clove and spice. Taste is interesting with a mysterious hop and Belgian yeast mix, nice very refreshing beer with a light spice finish.

Draft: Poured a pitch black night with tan colored head. Aroma is sweet cocoa chocolate. Taste is more rich chocolate, strong robust malts, just enough hops to keep it lively on the tongue.

Bottle shared by Savnac: Poured the murky brown with a light reddish hue to the edges, the head was off white. Aroma was strong yeast, dark fruit. Wow the taste of this was very divine with dark fruit, roasted malts, yeast, and that light birch pep. This beer shows me that the brewers are capable of great things, spot on with many Belgian Dubbels.
