Pours cloudy orange with a huge white head. Very bready, yeasty nose, with noticeable tartness, light fruit, and just a hint of funk. The flavor begins much like a tripel--yeasty, fruity, and spicy--but ends with a very distinct marriage of musty, slightly funky brett and grassy, citrusy hops. Very interesting stuff, and I think it’ll only get better over the next year or so.

Bottle. Poured a cloudy amber. The nose was of typical belgian yeast. Very interesting flavors. Some hop notes, a bit of ginger maybe, but the malt backbone is what I really loved about this beer. Just a delicious balance of flavors, with nice carbonation. Excellent beer.

Delicious and easy to drink Belgian strong. Too often this style goes overboard on the sweetness but this was perfectly balanced. Aroma was yeasty, light and fruity. Pour was a perfect medium gold with a huge 3 finger pillowy white head. Taste was delicious. Strong biting carbonation with full apricot, apple and peach (tastes like carbonated fruit cocktail juice). Aftertaste is slightly bitter and dry. Very nice.

750ml bottle, Thanks to The Beer God. Pours cloudy amber in color with thin white head. Aroma sweet, orange, spicey and hoppy. Taste orange, sweet, yeasty and malty with clean finish.
