11.2 oz. bottle. Pours a clear straw color with a decent-sized off-white head. An estery aroma of Mandarin oranges, bananas, lemons, and a touch of honey. The flavor starts with some baseball card bubblegum and transitions to some oranges and lemons. Yeasty and sorta spicy. Quite sweet throughout. Goes down nice and light. Crisp and refreshing. A very sessionable Belgian.

Decent abbey blonde. Clear, deep gold with a small head. Taste is clean, with just enough sweetness in my opinion; there is a dry mouthfeel with vigorous carbonation. Aromas are simple and direct; malt, bit of carmel, and just a hint of wood, with an unfortunate metallic flavor appearing briefly in the finish. It’s good; I’m not sure if I’d get it again, unless I could find it on tap.

Colore ambra chiaro con una sottile cremosa schiuma bianca. Buona la persistenza. Aroma è di pane e nocciola, zucchero e canditi con note fruttate .Il gusto è di caramello, pane, noci, erbe,luppolo e note di frutta. Corpo, morbido, caldo di alcool ma leggero. Buona

11.2 ounce bottle from Kybecca in Fredericksburg, VA. Pours a clear amber color with a thin creamy white head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma is bready and nutty with candi sugar and light fruity notes. Taste is caramel, bread, nuts, herbal hops and faint stone fruit notes. Medium-bodied, smooth, very slight alcohol warmth.

Pours a clear copper color with a medium-sized whitish head. very pilsener-looking. Aroma is of faint hops and pilsener malts, maybe a little peach too. Flavor has a little generic fruitiness, straw/grasses, more apple toward the end. Crisp finish, lighter density for the style. Overall, good.

Crystal clear straw gold pour with a thin white head. Aroma is peach, bread and some spice. Taste is light and sweet also. Very good body and not overly sweet like some other beers of this style. Clean crisp finish.
