Golden colour, profuse white head but deissapears in a while. Aroma of alcohol, freshness, sweet notes, hops and some yeast. Some acidity at start, medium sweetness in the taste. Good resemblance to a special belgian ale but kind of "thin" for my taste. Dry and light sweet after taste. Worth the try.

On tap, sampler, wheat aroma, a little spice, first sip is a bit watery, not horrible.

Deep golden pour. Fruity and malty aroma with a touch of pear and hint of soft fruit like banana. Flavor is malty rich with lots of fruit esters. Moderately dry finish with a good bit of malt sweetness. Medium-full body. Drinkable and tasty. Reminds me remarkably of a home-brewed Belgian Strong Golden I’ve made (Hump’s Devilish Nectar).

Appearance: Delivered to our SkyBar patio table a clouded, lemon-hued body with an inch of snow white foam by fine streams of steady carbonation. Moderate lacing on the descent. Smell: Aroma smelling of cut orchard fruits, honeysuckle blossoms, and honey candy tossed with a dusting of finely ground spices and what smells at times as either cider or white wine. Taste: Amalgam of pale and pilsner malts, sweet pops of powdered sugar, and a prevalent floral presence. Vibrant fruitiness of crisp apples, pears, and even white peaches tossed with a $10 to $15 bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. The sweetness and fruitiness is rounded out by a robust spiciness. Lightly bitter. Peppery, warming alcohol tones. Lingers lazily on the sweet side until a second before the drying, fruity finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium-plus carbonation. Smooth, lightly creamy mouthfeel. Drinkability: It’s pleasant. A very flavorful drink, a bit like a sweeter, fruitier Duvel. Who the heck put this under witbier?

On draft at the Westside. A hazy yellow with a thin white head. Citrus scent and taste with a dry finish.

Comes out of the tap a hazy bright golden with a fine-bubbled off-white head. Malty, fairly sweet aroma has a hint of yeast. Flavor is malty and a little candy-sweet with a yeasty undertone. Edgy, fizzy texture leaves behind a good tingle and just a little sweetness.

Spicy aroma. Sweet but crazy swirl of fruit, spice, and malt in there. Scuppernong finish. Nice.

Hazy yellow with a creamy white head. Orange and apricot aroma and taste with a dry mildly spicy finish.

The appearance of this beer is an opaque lemoncello. Bright white lacing also makes this beer a beautiful thing to look at. The aroma is a light-medium quality with hints of lemon and tropical fruit. On the palate you get tangerine, banana, lemon, and macadamia nuts. There is a slight tartness up front with a lovely lingering finish. All in all a good drinking beer.
