Tap @ Novare. Pours orange with a bright white 1 finger head. Nose is sweet and light. Taste is pretty much a basic ok belgian ale.

A pretty beer to look at- fluffy head and amber in color. Thin on the palate but saitsfying in a simple way.

lithy (2913) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 22, 2008
Lots of little bubbles inside this orange-coppery brew with a creamy white lumpy head. Laces the goblet beatifully as it recedes. Bready aromas but not particularly pleasant for some reason that I can’t pinpoint. A nice bready taste as well without the harshness of the aroma. Sweet and malty with no bitterness seems stronger than the ABV on the label. A good Belgian.

Bottle and tap. Where exactly are they trying to go with this one? Not sure. Its like a cross between a Belgian amber and some odd herb/spice brew. No flavor profile sticks out. Skip it. I promise, its not that special...

thedm (4116) - Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA - JUN 27, 2008
This bottled brew from Indianapolis, IN poured a large sized head of foamy white colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a transparent golden brown colored typically carbonated body and a foamy lacing. The aroma was mild with herbal notes. The mouth feel was mildly tingly at the start and mediumly tingly in the finish. The flavor contained notes of hops malt and thin brown malts.
