Robe dorée très claire surmontée d’une imposante mousse blanche compacte en dentelle qui persiste. Arômes de houblon citronné et de céréales. Saveurs douces d’agrumes légèrement sucrés, de houblon amérisant floral, de céréales et d’alcool.

Lovely straw colored haze in the glass with a lively bright white head. There is a touch of orange blossom honey on the nose blending nicely with notes of dandelion and hay. The weight of this beer is brilliant with a soft, round texture and medium body. However, the hops are the main attraction here, providing plenty of bite and a crisp summery finish.

12 oz, and it was a major gusher. Took almost 20 minutes to properly pour. Appearance, very cloudy, light brown looks like hazy ice tea. Aroma: somewhat pungent, like Brett, with some fruity phenolic notes. Taste is tart, I think this is past it’s shelf life.

Bottled at Issac Newton’s sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours a cloudy orange color with a white head. Aroma of spices, citrus, fruit, yeast, alcohol and sweet malts. Flavor is sweet, fruity, citrus, and a bitter finish.

[bottle] Pours a golden, cloudy yellow color. Holds its head very well, leaving some nice puffy clouds. Flavors are yeasty, doughy, with some mild citrus notes. Very easily drinkable- alcohol is present, but not too in your face. Finishes mildly bitter, with floral hops.

Bottle: Dirty straw, very cloudy, HUGE sudsy white head, fairly nice lacing, vibrant carbonation.   Sharp bready aroma, slightly floral, citrus twist, somewhat candyish.   Bready start, not as sweet as suggested on the nose, quite malty actually.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate.   Finishes very doughy.   Aroma suggested it being a bit more spiced, but it seemed like a very dull Tripel that was very bready/malty with only a slight hint of citrus sweetness.   Still good, but somewhat of a let down after smelling it.
