Bottle... Hazy straw-colored ale with a large, frothy, white head. Breadsy and spicy aroma with fruity esters (or actual fruit peels, I dunno). Medium-bodied and creamy with laid back carbonation. Spicy and sweet. Light acidity. Tangy, spicy finish.

(Bottle, courtesy of Swalden 28) Pours a cloudy maize body with a small off-white head. Aroma of banana, lemon, bubble gum, and clove. Flavor of wheat, lemon, coriander, and clove.

On tap in the summer of 2008: Pours a hazy deep golden with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of fresh ground coriander and a sweet biscuity pale maltiness. Body starts with good fullness and carbonation with a light orange citrus flavor and good coriander spice. Smooth, full flavored yet pretty drinkable.

12 oz bottle-pours a big frothy off white head and cloudy yellow/gold color. Aroma is spice-coriander/clove, faint orange zest, grain. Taste is mostly dry spice-coriander/clove. Then banana/faint orange zest/pumpkin, grain/wheat with some sweetness. Pepper comes through at mid and after taste. OK carbonation. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for picking this out.

Pours a hazy amber with a nice white head. Smells of coriander, citrus, grassy, wheaty, some spicy hints. Tastes of citrus, some honey, coriander, some spice, peppery hints. Nicely carbonated with a dry finish. A really like this brewery’s take on Belgian styles and other experimental beers and hope they do more. At $14 for a sixer of their tripel and $8 for a 4 pack of this, they make some of the best beer for the price out there.

Tap at Swift Hibernian Lounge. Hazy straw-gold beer with a dense 1/2" head. The aroma is lovely. Lots of citrusy, corianderish character with a pronounced spiciness on the back. Surprisingly, the yeast is quite expressive and the brewer seems to have used a light hand with the spicing. A light touch of clove as well as some honeyish malts. The malts have a bit more character than is usual in this style. Fruity with a light lemon and herbal/spicy yeastiness. It’s light and lean with a dry finish but with more than enough complexity to keep it interesting. A pretty solid wit.
