Very thick, foamy head. Pours dark brown and cloudy. Feels very smooth in the mouth, goes down easy. Slight hint of lemon. A good Belgian White, but not as flavorful as Hoegaarden.

Bottle at beerbistro. Pours a cloudy yellow with a large fluffy white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is yeasty, spicy, sweet and fruity. Flavour of yeast, bready malt, spices, tart lemon, more fruit and an average bitter finish. Nice lacing. Medium bodied. I expected more, it coming from this brewery, but it’s still pretty good and kind of refreshing.

11.2 oz bottle: Pale straw pour with a sizeable top. I was expecting the same rocky cap that other St. B beers portray, but this head slowly sank into a thin film on top. The nose is wheaty with a nice balance of coriander and sweet orange. The body lacks carbonation, but still drinks nice. More sweet malts are displayed, with a nice peppering of spices throughout. A healthy dose of carbonation would help to define the complexities of the body, but as is everything kind of mushes together. This is not bad by any stretch of the imagination, but some tweaking could make it great.

Some citrusy flavors along with some light spicyness. Not a beer I fell in love with but I might pick up another bottle at some point

Slightly cloudy straw yellow with a 2 inch dense white head. It’s the color of cream soda. Aroma of bright wheat malt, and orange peel. Medium strength flavor, thats is sweet malty and citrus. A really strong citrus beer. It taste like theres a half of an orange squeezed in there. Dry palate and finish. A little watery. Average lacing.

Smells spicy sweet, yeasty with a little orange. Dirty appearance witha rusty orange color. The spicy-ness comes out more in the taste as corriander, and of course very orangey. Overall a yeasty fruity beer, not bad, not great.

Nose very flowery with citrus and some pepper notes. Nice strength, filling the room. Body is a cloudy yellow with large fluffy white head. Tastes of peppery fruit with some wheat.

Bottle. Yellow-golden beer with a nice whitish head. Light spice and citrus aroma. Light spice, light wheat, light citrus flavor. Medium bodied. Easy to drink. Lingering wheat, light spice, and light hay.
