Bottle: The aroma consists of light floral and grassy notes with a hints of fruit and toast. It pours a bright transparent golden-orange with a one finger head that quickly fades to a thin film outlined by a thicker ring. It’s has minimal spotty lacing. The flavor starts with light toasty caramel and a touch of fruit. The finish has some light grassy/floral hops and a touch of metal. It’s light bodied with somewhat lively carbonation. Overall, I just find it rather bland. I’d choose it over the major micros, but that’s not saying much.

Amber with a small ceramy off-white head. Sweet malty aroma, with some caramel and a little bit of fruits. Sweet malty taste, fruititer than expected some hops come towrads the end makin a light bitter finish. Very drinkable, but rather boring and uninspired for a belgian ale.

Hazy amber color, off white head. Aroma of caramel and bread. Taste is slightly sweet and plain caramel.
