8% ABV Bottle. Aroma of sweet carmelized malts. Mostly clear with a small white head. Sweet candi sugar flavor with spicey belgian yeast notes,carmelized malts, and orange/peach fruityness. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Finish is candi sugar sweet withsome sherry notes. Very very good.

Pours a nice dark gold with a vigorous head. Grassy aroma. Flavor is fruity, yellow fruits predominate, yet finishes drier. Pleasant aftertaste of butterscotch and hay.

Bottle pours to thick white head that lingers over the orange tinted body. Taste is sweet and smooth. Not as good as the bruin, but a nice beer

Bottle thanks to Woodsman52. Pours hazy golden orange color with a thick foamy white head. Aroma is mostly yeast with some bread. Flavor is a sweet maltinesss with yeast, typical of most Belgian ales, along with some slight citrus. Crisp clean finish.

Bottle. Doughy yeast aroma. Golden yellow with a nice white head that leaves with a thin layer. Sweet and tangy with very mild bitterness. Fizzy and smooth on the tongue. Quite nice and refreshing. Surprised me a bit.

11.2 oz. Hay honey pour with an orange hue and a fast fading off-white head. Aromas include sweet citrus (orange) and malt. Tangy apricot and sour orange flavor. with a sweet malt finish and a hint of citrus hops. Light and fizzy on palate - watery. Overall: pretty interesting and definitely worth trying.

bottle. Despite a gentle pour, a good amount of sediment (including some chunks... eh) in the glass. Middling orange color, decent fizzy head that recedes pretty quick to leave a thin layer and a nice ring. Aromas of fruity banana sweetness and some sharp spicy notes. Flavors start with a yeasty twang (sediment?) and follow to some fruity phenols, cloves, and a warming booze flavor at the end. Thick and fizzy on the palate.
