UPDATED: FEB 5, 2024 Shared 750 ml. green bottle poured to thick stemmed, logoed glassware, showing a fairly clear, amber color, with a fluffy layer of off-white froth, and wavy cling to the lacing. The nose was soft malt/grain, moderate yeast, Belgian spice, dried apricot & skins, and slight jam-like sweetness. Better than medium bodied, the taste was as the aroma notes, with decent effervescence, creaminess on the tongue, some alcohol presence, and a mildly dry finish.
