Tap at Malvern. Pours out a nice slightly hazly light copper/amber color with a small head. Citrus on the aroma with some yeast. Taste is refreshing with some spice, yeast citrus and light dry hop bitterness on the finish.

Draught @ Malvern Brew Pub: Aroma of Belgian yeast and spices. Poured gold in color with a medium-sized, rocky, off-white head that lasted throughout. Hazy. Sparkling. Good laving. Flavor of herbs and herbal hops. Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Herbal finish. Not much to this beer.

Back out of retirement and on tap at the Malvern location. It looks like this has been changed up a bit with the abv at 6.8% and ibu’s at 30 now. Pours a hazy golden with a medium bubbly/creamy lacing off white head. Aroma of floral notes, honey, lots of citrus, bready and hints of spces. Flavor was bready, mixed spices, corriander, lots of citrus, honey, light grains and yeast. Very nice and refreshing beer. Even at 6.8% the abv is hidden and this one is even pushing into a very full flavored session beer category.
