3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught B.C."H." over golden beer with orangey sheen. Orangepeel nose, slightly spicy and yeast byproducts. Very dry orangepeel flavour, with again the spicy, peppery yeastfeatures. Medium bodied at least; bit sharpish MF. Rather run-of-the-mill beer, very estery and yeast intoned.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
750 ml bottle from Blue Dog Lansdale. Poured all head and it took a solid ten minutes to settle enough to really start rating. The pour was a deep sunbunrt orange body with lots of rising effervescence and a huge, I mean really really HUGE, rocky white head. Aroma is lots of yeast, wet old brown bread, gren apples, hints of butter and some spices. The body shockingly isn’t all carbonation and fizz. The body is on the fuller side with noticable carbonation but not horrible, a quick fading aftertaste with no noticable bitterness. The flavor is more one dimensional than the aroma with wet brown bread, slight fruitiness and Belgian yeast. This one was just a notch above drain pour.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Orange pour with a big off white head that recedes to white lacing. Aroma of crisp red apple, apple peel, and lemon. Taste includes that sweet yeasty flavor that many saisons and some other belgian beers have, along with a nice dryness. Finish is dry and slightly bitter. Carbonation is high.

Pours a hazy deep golden orange with a frothy off white head. Faint tart citrus notes with some grassy hops and maybe some light clove and vanilla. Crisp and slightly tart on the palate, tasty.
