Commercial Description:
Our take on a classic Belgian style golden ale. A uniquely Belgian aroma and spicy flavor created by a generous addition of hops.

Bottle thanks to mar. The look is clear, white head, and golden in color. The smell is peanut sheets, fruits, and yeast. Weird. The taste is wheat, watery, nuts, and malts.

Gold with no head. Bland nose of yeast, dried fruits and light spices. Very light on the palate with a fruit flavor and not much else.

Bottle thanks to mar. Pours with a clear golden body and no head. Aroma of hops, belgian yeast, and honey bread. Taste is hoppy with mild hints of a belgian style blond. Light bubbles and a dry mouthfeel. A very basic take at a belgian golden ale.

Bottle: Pours a clear orange color with light head. The nose is estery with some sharp yeast and spices, light in the malts though. The flavor has a spiciness to it with some more fresh orange and citrus notes along with a touch of wheat and pale malt. The finish is thin and the body is lacking. A bit one-dimensional...

Clear gold pour. Oranges, coriander and cheese in the aroma. Flavor is malty sweet, orange peel, coriander and some cloves. Not too bad.

Bottle.
Pours a boring, thin, and semi-lively cheddar orange with little to no head. Nose is cinnamon clove with peach. Flavor is sweet, rubbery clove with banana bits and a touch of sweet fruit. Watery mouthfeel. This beer simply doesn’t work.

Not bad at all. It drinks well. Huge flavor of bread with subtle Belgian yeast. Light spices, and just a little fruit. Hops are pretty well hidden. Orange color and fairly well carbonated.
