Much thanks to egajdzis for picking up this growler... Appears a glowing golden orange with a small amount of bubbles rising to the top and a mild white head that quickly fades into a gentle collar. Tiny streaks of lacing are left around the glass. Smell is of a dark fruit basket that contains some melted sugary hard candy and some mild honey smacked apricots. There is also a funky skunk-like yeast ester buried in the background that doesn’t seem to be causing too much damage. Taste is of the same aromas with a mild banana note coming through with the candy, honey, and fruityness. Mouthfeel is dry, mildly sweet, yeasty, and definitely Belgian. Mildly thin finish.

Poured a clean orange/brown color body with a small white head. Surprisingly lively aroma of light fruits and candied malts. Flavor was carmel malts, citrus, bananas, and spices.

Sampled from Growler courtesy of egajdzis. Poured a meduim and clear orangish color with a very small sized head. Tastes of fruits, bananas, some spices and light yeast. Tastes of fruits, citrus, lemons, and some spices. Medium sweet. Thinner body. Overall, this would make a decent session beer.

Compliments of egajdzis @ hopdog’s. A thin-to-nonexisten head. Pours a nice amber/golden color. Aroma is diverse - fruits, malt, spice and yeast. Flavours to match. A little thin, but very easy to drink.

Thanks to egajdzis for bringing this growler to a weekly tasting. Pours a translucent golden amber with a small white head that went away quickly. Aroma of dark fruits, banana, yeast spices and even some roastiness. Flavor was a sweet maltiness, with some various fruits.
