Poured a murky tan/blonde with little head. Fruity nose of pear and fig. Yes, fig. Pear and fig carries over into taste with definite notes of fresh baked bread as well. Slightly tart but pleasant finish that’s hard to precisely define. An interesting and very enjoyable Belgian Ale.

Bottle: Poured a yellow color with a thick foamy white head. The aroma was that of coriander and wheat. The taste was wheaty with coriander and yeast, a well balanced beer. Overall, a very good beer.

12oz bottle-pours a foamy to rocky white head and yellow color. Aroma is yeast, spices-coriander, light fruit-pear, musty wheat. Taste is plenty of spice-coriander, some alcohol, light fruit-pear, musty wheat, yeast. Good effervescence. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for picking this out.

best option available at hotel bar. Decent spiciness with fruity overtones. Enjoyable beer, especially after 100 cl of it.

Pours a hazy golden color with a thick foamy head and nice lacing. The aroma is a spicy yeast with tons of fruity esters and a little coriander. The flavor is really refreshing. Lots of apple skin, banana, clove, and toffee. A pretty sweet flavor, but not too sweet. The palate was pretty nice as well. A thin carbonation but it was pretty creamy. Enjoyable, especially for the price I got it.

This is not your typical drink in the sun kind of beer I thought I might be getting. It’s better than that. Pours a peach color with a huge creamy off white head. Aroma is banana, cloves, vanilla, yeast and perhaps some oranges. The flavor is yeasty with more of the same citrus fruits (banana, oranges) with a touch of fruity malts. Mild spice to it. The finish to aftertaste is just a tad off though. The flavor right off the bat is quite nice but it doesn’t really finish off that way. Sort of a little metallic feel. Still, this is a nice and smooth, easy to drink brew with a good amount of flavor.

Hazy straw yellow. Half a finger head that won’t go away. Acidic taste with a dry finish. Nothing special. Tastes like it may ne an old bottle.

Had a nice big draft in the appropriate glassware but could not detect any aroma. Beautiful golden orange color with decent head. Mild citrus taste complementing that nice, sweet abby taste. Nice, rounded body. Overall was expecting more flavor but very drinkable.
