Light orange, tight persistent head. Sweet yeasty hoppy classic belgian aroma. Lively carbonation, quite tingly, both from hops and from alcohol. Taste is a bit saccharinney. Pretty hoppy and soft malts. Not exceptional.

Thanks, Aaron! Light hazed gold, creamy off white head. Flowery ginger aromas ride light notes of honey bread and lemon. CItric sugar and ginger tones round to a yeasty floral finish.
