Cloudy dark golden with big head. Odd mix of minty ginger and other spices is just plain odd. Bitterness doesn’t fit in. No. Just no.

Pours hazy but very pale gold with a tall foamy white head that sticks aroun d for 2 minutes or so then collapses pretty quickly. Aroma is strange, lots and lots of tropical, berry, and apple fruit notes, light toast, lots of guava, only a hint of citrus. Flavor is similarly odd, guava, golden delicious apple flesh, pear, a hint of grapefruit bitter, straw, rice, ginger snap, with an herbal hob and mulberry finish. All flavors seem somewhat muted (maybe from the lager yeast). Palate is thin dry and slightly watery, but refreshing and fairly crisp. Overall, more curious than good, but odd enough to win some points here.

Bottle from utobeer. Alround rating: Strange beer, its like a belgian wit without the wheat or a belgian strong ale without the alc, its spicey and hot, yet thin and drinkable. Im not really sure what to say.

22oz. bottle from Pristine Liquors in Spring Hill, FL. Pours a nice cloudy, golden-yellow. Medium white head...an extra point for the sweet bottle! Aroma is citrus fruits (mostly grapefruit), yeast, nice spices...aroma similar to a belgian strong (duvel or tremens). Flavor is definately a bit light...but whats there is really nice...Mostly yeasty with some nice spicy and citrus notes. Very light mouthfeel...but not really an aftertaste so thats nice, pretty smooth. Overall, this is a very drinkable beer...Theres not a ton there...but its better than Blue Moon or Sam Adams Boston Lager...

22oz bottle. Poured quite clean golden, some sediment. Large white foamy head. Floral aromas, some hop, mild spice of some sort. Kind of pale, kind of white ale flavors of citrus with a small almount of sweetness, malt and sugar. I can’t put my finger on the spices, coriander and ginger maybe, but rather nondescript. Very carbonated mouthfeel. Light bodied, but filling from the carbonation. Seemed drinkable until I realized I still had half of it left. Not quite sure what to make of this one....

Cloudy yellow beer with a small white head. Smells spicy like a wit with a different yeast presence. The flavor is odd in that it’s grassy like a lager and spicy like a witbier. Decent.

Cloudy dark yellow, loose lacy white head. Spicy, with notes of white wine in the aroma. Odd flavor - Champaigne, rosemary nd rose petals - maybe some bay leaves, too? Whatever it is, I liked it.

cloudy white yellow pour with a 2 finger head.complex spice, citrus and yeast flavor this is a great example of a belgium white beer
