thanks to eric for providing the growler, poured an orange/amber color with some lacing but not much, sweet tangy aroma, citrus and hops, flavors of sour apple and citrus with some flowery hop flavor toward the end, which takes the tang off the tail end. not bad.

Thanks Eric for sharing a growler of this. Copper and orange color with a small head. Both sweet and tangy citrus aromas. Taste is more grapefruit than anything with a thin to medium body. Starts off a bit sour and becomes more sweet as it warms. Nuthin’ special.

Sampled from Growler provided by egajdzis (thanks!). Poured a medium golden color with a small sized white head. Sour and tart aromas. Tastes of tart grapes, with some fruits and citrus.

On draft at the Brewpub. Golden haze with a nice white head. Lacing. Citrusy, tart aroma with a hint of grapes and some hops. Kind of spicy. Doesn’t seem like a 7% beer as the alcohol is hidden. However, a good Belgian, and a nice beer to have for the summer time at the Delaware shore!

Poured a hazy golden color with a small off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, yeast, and spicy banana. Taste of Citrus, tart grapes, yeast, light vanilla, and peppery alcohol. A really nice Belgian, with light DFH character.
