Bottle, 330 ml. Muddy amber coloration, with a beige head. Sweet and salty at the same time. Sweet aroma, with notes of honey. It´s a simple beer.

Hazy amber color with a full head that settles to a half creamy, half bubbly head. Lightly toasted sourdough bread covered with honey butter aromas. Some light fruit on the side, with bananas, pears oranges and apricots. Actually quite heavy in scent. Too sweet. Somewhat syrupy in feel, but enough zip to keep it lively. LIght pale malt, along with some biscuits and clover honey in the flavors. Hint of alcohol, both from the nose and a slight burn. I like how this dries in the finish with a touch of acidity and a pale malt return. Linger gets a bit thick with some fruit syrup flavors. Light floral hops nearly go unnoticed. I could see enjoying this on a crisp fall day after raking the lawn.

Not good with Mexican food. Not good when cold, either. Nice, though, at cellar temperatures. Plain beer flavor, more or less. Nothing really stands out. Balanced? Quaffable to be sure.

a good summer thirst quencher. i know the blegian ale category is a mile wide, but this to me would be like a belgian macro. kinda wattery, and thin. sligth aroma of yeast, and bread. a tad bit of citrus, but seems like a beer you serve cold in the summer to the party crowd

Fresh, hoppy aroma. Golden brown appearance with a weak foam. Bittery, fruity taste with a scent of hops, maybe even a bit soapy flavor? Light ale with a short aftertaste. Nice, drinkable beer.

11.2 oz. Bottle: pours amber gold that has a fruit juice look to it, a creamy thick white head that leaves lots of lacing, big aromas of sweet bread and cake, mild citrus and fruit, yeast, some floral fragrances, faint alcohol in the nose, sweet malt with a peach-orange citrus bitterness or sweet malt fruitiness with a mild to medium citrus bite, flavor is towards the sweet but is dry in the finish, touch of alcohol in the swig and some pepper on the tongue, a little too much sweet.

Dark honey golden color, white head. Fruity, grassy, vinegar-like aroma. Sweet, fruity flavor (sugar, peach), subdued woody hops with some alcohol. Too sweet, someway unbalanced, but kind of ok.
