Tasted this on tap at the 8th Street Ale Haus in Sheboygan, Wisconsin so I didn’t get great notes. But it was terrible.

12 oz. bottle poured to a 1/2 pint taster showing a lightly hazed, orangy gold color, with bubbly, white head foam that reduced fairly quickly to a ring & film, and left some light spots & ribbons as lacing. The aroma was light grain/wheat, with light cracker & biscuit scent, some floral and spice hints with a touch of coriander, light fruit & citrus, and a bit of sweetness. The flavor presented low hop bitterness, light astringency & tartness, a light body, and a spritzy effervescence to project these notes to the palate without becoming watery or thin. Dry, crisp, and nicely sessionable.

12 oz. bottle shared by b3shine. Pours a hazy golden orange color with a medium sized white head. The aroma has citrus, yeast, pale malts with some spicy peppery notes. The flavor is citrus, peppery spice, pale malts, light woody notes with a very mild herbal note.

Bottle to snifter (thanks kbutler1). Looks good; a hazy orange with white lacing. Smells solid; yeast and citrus. Tastes like it smells with an average mouthfeel. A good example of the style.

Bottle - Clear golden pour with a thin white head. Nose is florals, a bit of mellow oak, light spicing, some plastic, and tropical fruit. Tastes kind of like a hefe--big time tropical fruit and banana notes, a bit of clove, and some dusty yeast covered by more tropical fruit. Slick, medium body, with a touch of carbonation. Very fruity and flavorful, with a bit of sweet stickiness to it.

Bottle. Pours a slightly cloudy straw yellow/orange color with a slight white head. Slightly funky aroma, Belgian florals. Medium mouthfeel. Slightly sweet, minimal Belgian notes, pepper, some bubble gum flavored. Overall, tastes a little watered down.

Bottle. Lightly hazy golden pour with almost no head. Nice aroma of Belgian yeast, flowers, and a touch of fruit. Some clove in here as well. Palate is a little flat and light. Pretty flavorful.

Pours a light golden color, almost straw, with very little head. Nose is honey and bread. Average mouthfeel. Taste is mostly a yeasty bread, somewhat sour. No noticeable hops, fruit or floral notes. Not in the same league as true Belgians.

On tap at O’so Tap House. Straw yellow with a white topper. Aroma of bready malt, roses, floral notes and some Belgian yeast. Taste of yeast and mild candi sugar with floral and rose pedal notes underneath.

Sampled from ck1 at Uncle Mikes. Pours very yellowish with a white head. Smells very belgian yeasty with some straw and earth. Taste is of some spices, some sweet fruit, straw. A bit thin even for a belgian? 12.5 if I could.
