Bottle and tap. Where exactly are they trying to go with this one? Not sure. Its like a cross between a Belgian amber and some odd herb/spice brew. No flavor profile sticks out. Skip it. I promise, its not that special...

Really simple but refreshing. I’d like to see what else they do, because this particular brew was lackluster and thin. Michael Jackson had more to say about their brown ale.

Tap @ Novare. Pours orange with a bright white 1 finger head. Nose is sweet and light. Taste is pretty much a basic ok belgian ale.

A pretty beer to look at- fluffy head and amber in color. Thin on the palate but saitsfying in a simple way.

Lots of little bubbles inside this orange-coppery brew with a creamy white lumpy head. Laces the goblet beatifully as it recedes. Bready aromas but not particularly pleasant for some reason that I can’t pinpoint. A nice bready taste as well without the harshness of the aroma. Sweet and malty with no bitterness seems stronger than the ABV on the label. A good Belgian.
