Thick rocky, bubbly white head atop a light straw colored body. Lacing doesn’t stick. The aroma is Belgian yeasts, lemongrass, light grains. The flavor is a spicy strawberry and lemongrass. Nice yeasts. Very tasty. The palate is lively. Spritzey. Medium bodied. Refreshing. Currently on tap and well done.

Sample at the Madison location. Slightly hazy gold with a lasting small cap of foam...lightly yeasty, lemony, tart-sweet nose...creamy mouthfeel, hints of thyme and other dried herbs, maybe some rosemary...solidly carbonated, bit of late sourness.

Appears to be a different recipe from that the others have tasted? Served in a goblet. Very pale straw color, high white head. Herbal, spicy hop aromas, some phenols. Bitter, earthy, slightly medicinal flavors, long bitter finish. A pretty good Duvel clone, I guess.

Murky yellow color with a very thin head. Weird aroma that was hard to place... brocolli? Tasted of vegetables and was very dry. Not to my liking at all.

cloudy yellow color with an off-white head. Hints of butter and perfume on the palate. Thin and light all the way down. Short duration of flavor.

Cloudy, dark yellow color with a white head. Aroma of butterscotch and some bubble gum. Buttery taste with some eastery flavors... hard to pick them out in a crowded bar. My favorite of the night.

Cloudy golden yellow (looks a lot like their wheat) with a moderate head that lingered and laced. Faint fruit aroma, but a real fruit basket on the tomgue. Apricots and pear - but really dry. Bummer is it just goes ploink at the end. Not as much body and little complexity as a Belgian should. Probably too young, or too little malt. But really a nice change of pace and a treat to have this style on draught.

Hazy straw-yellow body, clingy white head. Dry flavor, wheat with lemon flavor, no coriander as one might expect. Lemon-bread aroma. a refreshing Belgian, although I have no idea what the style is supposed to be (as if it matters).
