Commercial Description:
This is a light bodied, Belgian golden ale. Has a dry, slightly sweet finish. Very low hopping lets the malt shine through in this unfiltered ale. Very drinkable beer! 6.8% ABV

Beer on tap. Nice cloudy golden with minimal fluffy head. Aroma of fresh citrus with some flower nuance. Palate of bold citrus with wheat, middle palate of grainy-herb flavor with a sweet finish. Drinkable but perhaps preferable in the summertime.

Draft @ Downtown location. Hazy peach and wheat colored body with a white head. Semi-tart peach rind flavor, full body, chewy, thick, then peppery and fuzzy as times. Muddy wheat and light peach sweet-and-tart flavors, a little too heavy and chewy, more than it needs to be, but otherwise very drinkable.

Tap at RFD for Winter Holidaze Extravaganzee. Cloudy golden appearance; fluffy white head with good retention and lacing. Similar aroma to a witbier: coriander, orange peels, belgian spices. Medium mouthfeel, showing lemons, cardamom, spice. Slightly dry finish: lemons and spice.

On tap at the brewpub in DC - New York Ave - cloudy orange pour, yeasty, somewhat sweet aroma, Flavor has some sweet candied sugar notes, some muted citrus, hints of yeast. Finish is somehat sour - leaing towards a but of a lambic sourness - interesting. Decent brewpub selection.
