I had this on tap at the brewery. It poured a golden yellow color with a white head. Aroma was quite bready, a bit spicy, and mild fruits. It was sort of sweet and was yeasty. It had a great mouthfeel, not thick, but still sort of heavy. I like it overall, but would want to try something a bit stronger perhaps.

tap at Dragonmead. Deep golden pour. Dry Belgian yeastiness. Medium bitterness in finish. poor man’s Popperings. Some fruitiness. Hoppy stick of juicy fruit

(growler, thanks hopdog) Crystal clear golden body with white head. Aroma is medium sweet, Belgian yeast/spice, some bread, fruit. Taste is medium sweet, Belgian yeast/spice, some orange. Light-medium body. Nice session beer.

Growler filled 3 days prior. Poured a medium to deeper golden color with a small sized white head. Aromas of spices, ligthly fruity, citrus and yeast. Tastes of citrus, lemons, spices, lightly fruity, and yeast. With the low Alcohol content (the full body and mouthful didn’t give this away!), this would make a decent session beer.

Pours a translucent golden with a very small bubbly white head. Aroma of honey, mixed citrus, tea, malty sweet grains and some yeast. Flavor of honey, malty sweet grains, some Belgian yeast and light spicing.

Pours a hazy golden color, with a thin cap of white foam. Scant lacing. Yeasty fruity spicy aroma is nice indeed. To me this beer is somewhere between a hefe and a Belgian, but leaning more heavily towards the Belgian. Soft bready wheat and banana flavors up front, finishes a bit dry with coriander and a delicate floral hops. Body on the light side, very softly carbonated.

On tap at the brewery. Gold colour, good yeast aroma and taste. Appropriate carbonation. Saaz hop understated. Most drinkable, good medium mouthfeel,malted down with the corriander and orange peel. Sweet

I rate beers here in spurts. When I have the desire. When I’m not too bored by the other ratings and their super want to be like wine tasters ratings. So here’s the deal: A nice Belgian style from Detroit-Metro’s best.

Tap: light orange with no head. A little foot in the nose. A weird taste. Just a little orange with clove?

On tap: Strong citrus and Belgian aroma almost lemon scented cleaner. Slight hazy orangish-yellow with a insignificant white head. Not much up front with a lemon grassy finish. Wasn’t real pleasant for me.
