A: The pour is almost amber, maybe burnt orange, with a finger of khaki colored head. S: Pretty typical Belgian aromas happening here. A lot of yeast contributions such as banana, bubblegum, and miscellaneous spice notes (most notably, pepper and coriander). As the beer warmed up a little bit, a lot of peach aroma started to come through. T: Bubblegum, bananas, and peaches are all (again) very strong in terms of their presence. I get some decent spice character and quite a bit of malt, which is mostly toffee and bread flavors. M: The body is medium with a lively carbonation. D: My other favorite from the pilot beers. This one was really quite well done.

Thanks to Ryan for setting me up with a sample, on tap at Bootlegger’s in Fullerton, CA. Not as pale in color as I would have expected, very middle of the road in flavor.
