Pours a cloudy gold color with a huge pillowy white head. Aroma is funky yeast, light citrus and hops, and light orange zest. Mouthfeel is rather dry and carbonated. Taste is bret, light lemon citrus and orange zest. Solid.

Bottle into pint glass.. Holy crap ive never seen so much head in a beer.. Orange hazy pour.. Poured out one oz and the entire glass filled with thick white head...spicy orngish roma. Biter finish.. Not bad

355 ml. ugly stumpy bottle @ Delirium Hoppy Loft. Thanks to Wilson. No date but a fresh bottle. Hazy bright orange with a big fluffy creamy white head, slowly collapsing. Cork dry with huge dry brett profile, light funk, dry Belgian yeast, light hay and dry fruity hop bitterness, dry hay, white pepper, white bread, light oranges, green grass & med. floral. Really dries out thanks to the big brett profile. Highly excellent, I get the Orval comparison but Orval has many more layers going on. Wilson commented about my fondness of this as “You really like things which are not meant to be drank by humans”. Best review ever.

i’m not even going to bother to try and separate all the flavour here. all the aromatics, fruits, spices. the only two things to really mention are one, the head on this thing is ridiculous, 6 inches high without even an inch in the glass, and two, this is the best beer i’ve ever had.

Bottle->Trappist. Copper/gold with huge frothy white head. Aroma: funky yeast, pepper, citrus, barnyard. Taste: yeast, citrus, spices, more funk. Good.

Bottle, almost 1 year old (should have left it sitting on the shelf). Not a gusher, but massive, massive white pillow head that filled up my entire pint glass from just a small pour. Slightly hazy yellow in color. Fruity and slightly funky nose. Almost no carbonation left in the beer. Still some hops and nice bitterness balanced with nice funk and fruit. I’ll be revisiting this again.

Damn delicious Belgian pale. Billowy head. Smooth up front; effervescent toward the finish. Bright, spicy and slightly tart. Has the perfect amount of Brett funk to give it depth; yet it’s not overly yeasty. Lesser, musty, earthy, zingy and estery qualities. Nips of lemon and white pepper as well. Dryish finish. Balanced. Tasty.

12 ounce bottle purchased a year ago at Bine & Vine ($2.49). Pours a hazy red-amber hue with great big pillowy off-white head that only slowly recedes, requiring a slow pour. Aroma has a certain brett sharp tang with additional notes of wet grainy cardboard-y malts, lemon, and some mild biscuity malts. Flavor of caramel, funky bretty-musty tang, lemon zest, fruity hops, and bready malts. Dry finish with a lingering funkiness. Good and yes, it is noticeably similar to Orval, but falls a bit short of that legendary brew. (644, 790)

Impressive pillowy head. Smells biscuity with light aromatic hops. I rarely sample the fluff, but eager to try the brew hiding underneath, I slurped some off the top, and how interesting, it had a taste unto itself. Mild citron element, biscuitiness, fruit and spice come across sweet in the head and lend to the impression of...sugar cookies with a bit of lemon zest? Taste is stronger on the the lemon and grassy hop notes, with bready malt and a great Brett flavor. Finishes dry yet blooming with fruit . Recommended.

Pretty good from start to finish. Yeasty nose with banana. Dry palate heavy on the bubble gum. Plenty of hops in there of the pine variety. Unusual and good
