A- Pours a sunset orange hue with tons of visible carbonation bubbles and a fairly thin, eggshell head. S- Smell is belgian yeast, apple, clove, banana. T- Taste is fairly solid and round, lots of light fruity notes, apple and banana complemented by a big malt backbone. M- Thick with medium to low carbonation. D- Even though i’m not a huge fan of the style, i enjoyed this one quite a bit. Very balanced and easy to sip on.

Have a scant old rating note for this from the brewpub in Chicago: spice, malt, yeast aroma. lemon and bread taste. dry fruit aroma. That’s all I’ve got other than a score.

Cloudy orange, thin beige head. Ripe fruit aroma with some tartness, honey, and clove. Taste is not overly sweet or bold but is mild and smooth with peach and pear notes. Maybe this bottle has some pretty good age on it.

12 oz bottle Pours a nice orange with a small off white head. Taste is close to an abby style with hint of citrus a bit heavy on the spices for my taste.

Lovely beer. Tasty too. Poured with a grand foamy, frothy off white head and great lace. Color is a medium amber. Aroma is very yeasty, malty, a little hop, and a bit vineous. Flav’s the same but more full. Very good body and carbonation. Satisfying. Don’t pick up much on the alcohol. Nicely balanced. Finish is good. Kind of on the border between a drinkable beer and a special. I’d imagine that would be ideal from the brewer’s perspective. Whatever.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden/orange beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is sweet, fruit with orange and notes of yeast. The flavor is sweet, malt with caramel, fruit and yeast. The palate is dry and spicey. Overall a good beer.

Nice golden orange pour with beautiful off white head. Complex aroma and flavor of tropical fruits and spice with a bit of wild flower honey. Was put off a bit by a rather distinct flavor of burnt transmission fluid. Need to try again in another setting.
