On draft at Orlando Brewing. This beer was very good. It pours a golden color with very sweet fruit and honey-like notes in the aroma. The flavor is very sweet with some light malt and a touch of bitterness right before the finish. Laced up the glass nicely and was very enjoyable.

Pours a golden/orange color, bright, with a thick fluffy head which is maintained leaving some wonderful lacing. Quite a bit of carbonation. This beer is very smooth with amazing drinkability. A bit light but the flavors blend nicely. Sweet malts, yeast, semi-tart fruits, with a floral hop character. Perhaps a bit fragrant. Again, at first it all seems a little light but the further I worked through the beer the more I appreciated it’s delicate nature. Very nice.

330 ml, bbe 2010. Orange-amber with a three-finger, creamy and lasting head. Peach, mango, spicy resin, and beeswax aromas. Front is spicy, resinous herb and wood lightly dominating some earthy honey flavors. Finish has some spicy floral-citrus notes, clove, peppery alcohol, wheat, and bubblegum. Light-medium body tries to be smooth, but is too frothy with carbonation at times. Finishes nicely dry.

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.

A bit hazy, yellow/golden coloreed beer. It has a huge foamy white head. The aroma has malts and fruits, like orange with some citrus. There is some coriander. The taste is soft with some spices, coriander. It has fruits and malts. A great beer.
