The aroma is minty, yeasty, spicy, malty, and generally herbal. The appearance is hazy gold with a huge head that fades. The taste is like the aroma exactly. The palate is very smooth from carbonation. Overall a really nice beer.

aroma is peppery citrus, sage, and yeast. it’s crisp and bright like a belgian triple but slightly artificial tasting. not much of a hop character, especially for a dry hop, but maybe that’s where some of the lemon is from. effervescent and light body, alcohol well hidden.

Tap. Wow. Peculiar lemon zest, floral greenhouse plant mix, honey dew nose. Flavor is lemon gum drops, a bit of medicine, and toasted lemon soap. Interesting, unique beer. Weird. Aroma better than flavor. A little too much like a lemon candy for my liking, but enjoyed it nonetheless.

Tap at Paradiso Dupont. Pours a slight hazed yellow- mostly clear with a relatively dense, bright white head that has decent retention and scant lacing. Aroma is potpourri, bitter orange peel, perfume oils, some spice, lemonade. Taste is very dry, some saison character, light candi sugar, soapy, perfumey. 9.5%abv is not noticeable.

Chalky white-golden in color with a nice haze and decent white head. Lightly sweet, mostly spiced aroma. Spiced notes are most prominent with noticable, yet light hop charater.

From a tap at the brewery, Belgian sugar taste, medium body, brown in color, a hoppy belgian ale?

Sampled on tap at Bottleworks, pours golden with a white head. Aroma of yeast, grains, straw, pear, a little citrus and spice. Flavour of sour apples, pear, licorice, yeast and bready malt. Very solid.

Bottle, under the name "Green Flash Friendship Brew." Pours a very dark brown, almost black, with an extremely thick tan head. Has a lot of spiciness to the aroma. Not nearly as spicy in the taste as the nose would belie, but an interesting strong black ale. Good strong malts without the sweetness that comes from a lot of Belgians.

UPDATED: MAY 11, 2012 Bottled. Pours a hazy golden color with a big white head, very carbonated. Citrus, lemon, yeasty aroma. Spicy, malty, citrusy, yeasty flavor. It tasted a little musty, but I’ve had the bottle for about a year, so it may have not aged very well.
