(Found this rating leftover from the Art of Beer Festival). Golden color. Aroma has black pepper and yeast, bit of fruitiness. Was described by their reps as similar to Orval; I didn’t see that. Feels a bit like a lambic. Good nonetheless.

Tap at Andy’s. Cloudy yellow in color with a white head. Orange peel and candi sugar aroma. Good beer. Light in body. Lots of malt. Clean finish. Enjoyable.

Tap. Hazy orange color. Thick body. I thought that it had a little sourness to the finish, almost lambic like. It smells good, it looks good, but it lost me in the end.

Had this from a 750 ml bottle conditioned version. This comes up from a 3.3. Excellent aroma and flavor in this brew. This is a well made Belgian and worth seeking in the bottle conditioned mode.

Tap at Andy’s. Pours a cloudy yellow with a slight white head. Aroma of orange peel and candi sugar. Refreshing light full body of malt, candi sugar, fruityness, and a dry, clean finish. Decent enough beer and rather drinkable.

On tap. Hazy amber in color. Fruity, citrus and hoppy smells and tastes. Sweetish start with a light bitter finish. Lively carbonation.

Update. Tasted from bottle on 12/11. Poured medium and cloudy amber/golden color with a huge sized head. Fruity (apples), lemons, citrus and yeast.
