Bottle from LCBO. Clear pale yellow pour with white head. Wet grain smells, no hop presence whatsoever some menthol some toast. Taste is honey, mentol, malt, a bit of alcohol. Medium carbonation delicate mouthfeel.

Golden color with beautiful compact head. The aroma is of fruit, delicate and intense. The velvety body and the end of hop. This beer is one of the first loves and she cannot be betrayed.

Draught Deep honey-gold body, sizeable dense white head. Spicy aroma; clove, pepper, nmutmueg, combine with sweet malts and ripe apricot. Reasonably rich body, carbonation is quite lively with a drying texture. Quite sweet upfront, honey and pale malts, with stonefruit and banana, peppery and spicy phenolics providing balance. Quite nice overall.

Bottle produced 8 287 11. Golden, slightly hay, big crackling head. Waft of fruity Belgian yeast hits the nose. Highly carbonated. Citrus fruitiness, some spice, some saltiness to me (like what I get out of Duvel). 6.8% doesn’t show (the Belgians and their sugar...). Crisp. Dry finish.
