Nose: beeswax, forest weeds, dark green cooked vegtables, hint of mint, light apple comes out late. Taste: Light-medium sweet, light bitter, medium sour. Spice everywhere....not hot temperature, but just peppery throughout - but in a great way! Accompanying this is some sutle vanilla, icing sugar and yeasty mass. Didn’t pick out any fruit....

3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
12 oz bottle. No best by date printed.
Pours into my Duvel tulip an amberish red with some floaties and a large white head that leaves good lacing.
The smell is light but pleasant. It is spicy with a little bit of tangy yeast and malts. The yeast is definitely the main part of the scent though it doesn’t excite the senses a huge amount.
It is a decent well-rounded brew. The taste is slightly sourish but mostly malty with a hint of yeast twang. There are fruits and spices as well.
The mouthfeel is a bit thin but overall not too bad.
It is an easy quaffer, very much like an unfiltered PALM. It is a good brew.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap rate, though I prefer it bottled. Cloudy rusty orange brown. Yeasty and light banana and fruits in the aroma. Taste is quite similar to the aroma but with darker fruit notes and dried peach and citrus, finishes yeasty and slightly sweet. Lighter body with soft carbonation. Easy drinking.
