Muddy Unfiltered Dark Yellow, Huge Head, Medium Lacing. Yeast and Poppy seeds Aroma. Belgian Yeast, toasted Poppy Seeds, Sweet Malt. If i did not read the label, I probably wouldn’t be able to put my finger about the poppy seeds. When you know it, it does taste like it. You Could actually see some poppy seeds floating in it. Watery thin body. Reminds me of watered down Saison. Well Hidden Alcohol, very refreshing for high ABV. I’ve enjoyed it, Rather Nice.Plus, it is Organic, so it is good for you. At least, that is what you can tell your wife.

Thanks to Tim and Rachel for sharing! Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow from the can with little to no head or lacing. Aroma is Belgian yeast and associated wheat esters, banana. Taste malty sweetness with a touch of Belgian yeast in there. Meh.

47 cl can @ home. Pours clear golden with a white head that leaves a little lacing. Aroma is citrus, spices, sugar, and yeast. Flavour is much like the aroma – with a slightly dry finish.

A bit plain and thin, but the flavour is definitely nice, with some lemon and grass. Quick finish, like this review.

16 oz can. Cloudy pale orange hue with a collapsing white head; leaves a little lace and a constant ring of foam. Aroma is peppery, clovey, floral. Taste is lightly sweet, savory and full of spices--clove is strong. The Belgian yeast used imparts most of the character in this brew; I’m not really sure what toasted poppy seeds even taste like--I suppose it’s a little nutty. Palate is a little thin, but this being a summer beer, that’s probably the brewer’s intention. Very, very tasty and well-crafted. I could see myself pounding down quite a few of these in the hot summer heat.

1 pint can from BrewDog. Hazy amber brown colour, not much head. Mild resin hop aromy. Light spicy flowery yeasty flavour. Smooth with yeasty aftertaste. Quite light & refreshing. Good one.

16 oz can courtesy of bvc. The pour is a hazed golden orange, with a noisy two inch egg white head that falls loosely with spotty lacing. The aroma is straw, an herbal, round sweet floral, and a bit of a unique nuttiness. The taste starts big with the sweet floral, an unsweetened honey element, the straw from the nose, and then the nuttiness is present in the lingering finish. The herbal medicinal along with the sweet floral is the big part of the flavor profile here. As the beer warms, the floral sweet turns closer to sugar sweet, detracting a bit. The palate is medium bodied, a low, almost flat carbonation level, though this is balanced by the pleasant unfiltered mouth feel. This was a weird beer, though certainly unique. Thanks Brandon.
