COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Sunshine colored and effervescent, this Belgian style Blonde Ale is lightly spiced with lemon peel and rum-soaked Planifolia vanilla beans in addition to the spicy, fruity, and subtle bubblegum notes produced by the Belgian yeast strain.

Draft at RBY. In a tall wheat glass, it shows the cloudy yellow color of a witbier. Thin white head on top. Smell has lemony notes and an estery Belgian ale smell. Taste is indeed a wit with lemon to the fore.However,I also get an impression of tire rubber. Might be the peel, might some sulfur in the yeast that I don’t usually ever pick up, but hey, it’s been another crazily bad day. Still some unique spices here, still likable, and I’ll try this again next time.

On tap and 12oz. stemware/chalice served at RB-Yorktown, with a hazed, straw color, modest, white, grainy/small bubbled head foam, and spots and streaks of lacing. The nose was lightly sweet, with a little grain, light lemon and floral notes, vanilla, spice, and also a slight hint of banana. Ditto on the flavor, with good complexity, with a light to medium body, quaffability, but also a sneaky alcohol presence, and pleasantly dry finish.
