On tap at horniblows. Hazy bright gold pour with fluffy white head. Malts and doughy aroma. Yeasty spicy flavor with the hops taking a back seat. Not as hoppy as I was expecting but still decent. I love BB to start including the IBUs in their descriptions at Horniblows.

This beer acchieved exactly what you would expect from the style. Pours a hazy golden with a relentless pure white head. Aroma of fresh grain, flowers and belgian yeast. I would have like to have tasted more hops, but that is not necessary for the style, the hops were in balance. Not that spicy as with many a tripel, but I loved it nonetheless. A cask version of this with some additional hops would surely blow my mind.
