A very standard Belgian White. Nothing too risky and nothing that would offend. Very enjoyable but not very memorable. Taste and aroma are spicy and orange.

Bottle. Pours a hazy orange and a medium to large white head. The aroma is sweet caramels, citrus, and malty yeast. The flavor is almost artificially sweet, too sweet and heavily cirtus fruity.

hazy orange with a lasting white head. Aroma of caramel, with lemon and orange peel, and a hint of butter. Sweet orange or tangerine dominated flavour

Pours a hazy orange, not surprising considering it’s a Belgian White. Aroma is rather weak compared to other Belgian Whites. Flavor is of coriander and some spice -- an expected orange peel flavor. A little weak on the spice, which makes it less interesting and too bland. It’s good for a Coors beer, but there are much better Belgian Whites available -- even for the same price.

Great tasting, lightly unfiltered. Great with an orange slice. Not very fruity. Great summer beer.
