3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sample at the Brews Cafe "Spring Forward" beer festival on 03/09/2013: Pours a slightly hazy gold color with a medium thin white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of yeast, spice and malt. Light to medium body with flavors of sweet malt, peppery yeast and fruit. The finish is fruity with s short herbal yeast aftertaste. Decent overall.

Draft. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a medium sized white head. The aroma was pale malts, mild sweetness, and some Belgian yeast. The flavor has lightly toasted malts, mild Belgian yeast with a light spiciness. This was a touch bland.

Draft to tulip at the brewery. Looks solid; a transparent orange with off-white lacing. Smells and tastes hoppy and yeasty. Average on the palate. Not my favorite style, but a solid example of it nonetheless.
