Multiple orange hues descend into the depths of the wine glass I'm using. Quite translucent around the edges. Lots of tiny foam bubbles cling to life before expiry. Aroma is fresh baked bread and yeast, a touch of white wine and some unidentifiable, unexpected sweetness - sugar? Chablis flavors, along with a melding of subtle bitterness and sugar. Effervescent on the palate but still of some real gravity. Is it just suggestion or is the alcohol hitting fast and furious? Winey like 3 Monts but better! On the other hand, has the haylike farmhouse complexity of La Bavasienne but sweeter - fabulous - a big thanks to TAR for this gem!

Pours a cloudy orange color, light head.
Aroma is sugary, yeasty.
Taste is fizzy / highly carbonated (even too much), caramel malts, thick on the palate (foamy), cane sugar and grains.
Not a bad beer, a little of a let down with the high carbonation.
