650 ml bottle.
Pours golden colour with a white foamy head. Aroma of apricot, caramel and grass. Flavour of apricot, sweet caramel malts, herbs, grass, some hops and spices. Medium bodied, dry mouthfeel and a sweet, herb-like finish with toffee. Too sweet for me.

Clean white, tight beaded head, splotchy lacing. Hazey orange color. Big, spicey, appley, citrus nose! sweet. Medium body with a somewhat creamy mouthfeel. Kinda soda poppy also? Citrusy, bready flavor. Nice hop presence. Finish is med/dry. The alc. also makes itself known. Avery makes some interesting brews.

Golden with a medium white head. Nice wheaty vanilla and spice. Some grainy notes there too. Nice but a bit clean.

Thanks Roy at Ruby’s for hooking me up with a bottle when the Pisgah Solstice tap was acting up. Had a little side-by-side tasting. Poured kind of flat at first but coaxed a nice head after refilling my glass. Lovely golden color. Quite clear. Lovely fruit (orange, orange peel and peach) aroma, along with strong spice on the nose. None of the doughy/floury/yeasty notes of some true Belgians, but the fruit and spice on this one are quite nice.

GABF '02 Deep golden,with a slight haze.Yeast and fruity esters comes through nicely in the aroma along with a touch of alcohol.Malty earthy flavors dominate the profile.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
(Bottle) Pours a light amber color with little head, but champaign-like carbonation. Light fruit and yeast in the aroma. Taste included some sugary cotton candy notes, some vanilla, and a good amount of spice as well. Light hops as well. Good palate and fizzy mouthfeel. The alcohol is nicely masked within the beer.
