From a bottle poured a light brown color with a fair amount of head. Light sweet malty flavor with a quick finish.

My 100th for ratebeer. Appearance was cloudy orangish gold with creamy 1 finger lasting white head, spotty lacing. Aromas where funky yeast ie oranges, grapefruits, spice, coriander? Slight sweet malts. Taste was sweet malt upfornt, then the stars of the yeasts come out. Oranages, grapefruit, spice and bittersweet funky sourish yeasts. Palate was smooth creamy frothy carbonation with balanced body and average length wonderful funky finish. Outstanding Belgian Ale...

A big rich nose. The thing which impressed me most about this beer is how soft it is, it just coats the mouths and caresses the senses. Need to be careful as at 7% this one is very easy to drink, and if over imbibed may cause to you wake up naked on your kitchen floor the next day.

Bottle. Clear amber colour with a small head. Sweet, yeasty aroma. Sweet fruity flavour with hops.

Poured on draft into taster glass Aroma: citrus, hoppy, bit of funk, sweetness, peaches, grapefruit Appearance: coppery color. 2 finger head that lingered a bit Taste: medium sweet, light bitter, and heavy sour Palate: medium body, thin mouthfeel, and sour aftertaste Overall: i like the funk from the Brett. It had an interesting taste in the little sample i had. very enjoyable.

From old notes. Nose of spices, yeasts and subtle orange. Taste is similar with a touch of cloves. Very nice white ale.

Pours a nice cloudy tangerine with a short-lived finger of head. Good lacing. Plenty of esters in the nose. Some soft fruits too - apples, white grapes, I don’t detect much coming off the malts. It tastes rather refreshing. Similar to other BPA’s that I’ve had without a very aggressive yeast presence. Nice and floral. I’m struggling to dissect this one. It’s quite good, though.

Thanks to master H for the help with this one. Ummm cookies to the nose with this burnt amber pour and thin white head. On the tongue medium with predominant umm cookie note followed by subtle cream soda, lemony hop, and salty caramel. Nice beer.

Copper orange color with a white head. Aroma of coriander, spice, and Belgian yeast. Belgian yeast flavor, coriander, and spice rounds it out. Really nice beer.

Golden color and decent amount of white head remaining along the side of the glass. Smell was very full of spices and bubble gum. Taste is floral and strong on the belgian spices with some coriander shining through. Mouth feel was sparkling and crisp.
