3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cloudy pale gold colour with a voluminous white head. Classic Belgian yeast aromas and scents of lemon zest and juice. From the smell I’m expecting a good dose of sour juicy lemons. I’m not disappointed, but then the strength of that sourness isn’t enormous until you let this beer sit on the palate. It’s lip-smacking and generous in the flavour. It isn’t the most remarkable beer I’ll ever drink, but sits in the category where I’d be more than happy to go back for seconds.

330 mL bottle at St. Veronus. Hazy yellow with a large white head. Fruit and yeast in the aroma nad flavour. Very highly carbonated. A little too highly carbonated for my taste. Just okay.

11.2 oz bottle purchased at MDL in Overland Park, Kansas. The pour is a slightly hazed golden yellow with a billowing 4 inch white head. The head is thick, falls slowly. Aroma is a yeasty tart sour, orange lemon citrus bitterness, grass, and a mineral earthiness in the back. The taste has some spiced clove citrus up front, along with a fruity sweet malt, a touch of candi sugar and a weird bitter brightness in the finish. The yeast is present throughout, and really is the dominant flavor. The palate is medium to light bodied, spritzy natural carbonation and the dry bitter yeast finish make this easy drinking. Initially, the bitter yeast taste put me off a touch, though as this warmed it really came together for me. Really unique flavors.
4.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Bought from wine warehouse in Charlottesville, Va. 11.2 oz bottle. Pours a stand-tall head that will extend above the glass rim by an inch if you let it. Bright white puffy head. Body is clear and golden. Bubbles are even and steady though somewhat fewer than the head would denote. Nose is old pears, pinch o’ sour, malty/caramel fo’ sho.
Hop snap on the tongue at first and last taste. In the middle is a rich malt flavor. It’s like a hops-malt-hops oreo.
Finish is fairly clean in the mouth. If this thing would age, I’d buy a case. As it is, I will simply pick up two bottles every time I see it.
