Bottled. Pours a deep honey with a small white head and small pieces of sediment floating around. Aroma is a sweet yeast with alcohol. Flavor is sweet orange, orange peel, and belgian yeast. Body was lightly syrupy with a hint of alcohol in the finish.

Bright golden with brilliant white pillowy head. Yeasty souring notes are first observed. Smooth clovey spiceyness erupts on the tastebuds, spiced cinnamon, clove, vanilla with a light peppery touch in the back. Alcohol is not detected on taste but rather on a medicinal warmth after sipping.

(Belgium) After a day at the Liederkranz, The Knights got together for another round of liquid refreshments !!! Pours a hazy gold color with a nice foamy white head. Aroma of warm bread, spices, and citrus. The taste was of sweet fruits and caramel. I was not sure at first but it turned out pretty good.

Another shared post Beer Fest with the Devonshire Ks- Light gold pour with large foam white head. Spicy sweet, hops and bread like on the pallet. Nice blend with a rather subdued smooth spice mix. A citrus note and a slight carbonation dryness towards the end.

Bottle shared with the Devonshire boys. Pours light gold with a humongous white head. Smells sweet with lots of coriander. Lots of coriander in the flavor with some sweetness to balance. The feel is very mellow, no doubt that the coriander is what smooths it out. Good , but not complex, and too much spice to make it a regular drinker.
