On tap at the brewpub. Poured a slightly hazy amber gold with a white head that dissipated quickly to the edges. Aroma was full of earthy hops with grass and hay coming through as well as a bit of moist wood. Flavor was similar with lots of earthy hops and grass really coming through with a bit of grapefruit in the finish.

On tap at the brewpub. Aroma is a spritzy cookie sugar, faint. Flavor is a gently spicy brown sugar, glowing with some hop cone dust and lemon residue. It’s rather quiet overall and doesn’t really have a lot of the flavors that I would expect from a Dubbel. As well, the hop promise doesn’t really pan out as I expect some amount of good bite in the back splash of this beer. Underwhelming, but clean.

yeasty banana esthers, cloudy light orange, initially soft with a burst of spicy hops then yeasty with some sour/spritziness and a hop resurgence near the finish

Tap: Orange/amber in color. Strong hop bite up front. Well balanced through the middle. Slightly tart/sour finish.

On tap: Citrus aroma with light sourness. Goldish-orange, lightly hazy with a small white head. Okay lacing. Citrus up front. Some light banana. Nice bitter finish that balances well. A little tart.
