Hazy golden color, smallish head (but more than the last pour I got, at another bar)... Sweetness and spice in the nose, apricot and orange...lemon peel and ginger. On par for style. A blast in the mouth, a bright bow-up of flavor, lovley and lively, same fruit and lightly spicy/sweet associations ring clear on the tongue. Lean and clean-bodied, but zesty and rewarding, getting brighter and juicier, maltier, with a dry, spicy finish, as we go further in... what’s the alcohol? 9%? Feelin’ it, now... Flavor really makes itself at home in the back of the throat before sliding slowly back, and softly going away...but never far from memory... my serving at the other place last night left me feeling that it lacked carbonation, and was too lifeless for me...I’m not having that problem here, not now...could use more spark, I still believe, but this is doing good things in my mouth, nonetheless...

pours a hazy honey lemon yellow with white head. Aroma is caramel, candy sugar. Flavor is largely yeast/caramelization and candy sugar. Body is medium with fair carbonation.

Tap at the Happy Gnome. Too clear. Blonde. Aroma is herbal and sweet. Flowers, mint, wildflower honey, and a clean, white nuttiness, mostly. Sugary, and pasty, and frayed on its boring edges.

Malts lay extremely low in the flavor, and what’s more prominent is the herbal bittersweetness that sits obesely on honey and plain sugar, like green tea that’s been killed with sweetener. The sweetness that’s here is too pale and too hollow; it tastes obviously filtered and in a style like this the flavor is just as obviously stripped of anything interesting, though it’s still quite flavorful.

Palate is fairly heavy and smooth; considerably quaffable; finishes with a plain, off-putting bubblegum sweetness. This is another exceedingly boring and dumbed down, but still tasty, example of a belgian style roughed up by an american brewer.

(Draught) Pours a clear golden body with a moderate white head. Aroma of florals, coriander, banana, and bubble gum. Flavor of bitter citric hops, coriander, orange peel, and some honey.

Light golden pour white head. Sweet banana, oranges, bread, touch of grains, and alcohol. Nice full well coated palate. Sweet taste, honey hints of bread, a light bitter fininish, touches of orange skins. Ok.
