Dec 22, 2008 750 bottle batch 16. Pours bright gold with a big, white, fluffy head. Very carbonated with macro type bubbles. Nose is a bit bretty, with spices coming through. Tangy and citrusy flavor with the brett horseblanket taste light on the palate. Girlfriend says it reminds her of a chopinho beer from Brazil. OK. Very easy to drink though a bit thin and the alcohol is completely hidden. I poured the yeast in the glass at the end. It gave it a thicker, richer flavor. Overall a nice Belgian single.

Dec 22, 2008 Blond; eggshell white sticky head. Aroma - indistinct malt, yeast. Standard Belgian blonde flavor profile. Fruity esters. Fluffy feel. Semi-dry finish. In a nutshell, 750 is too much, and in fact this becomes kind of a drag towards the end.

Dec 14, 2008 Poured from 750 ml a nice hazy orange forming a nice craggley foam head. Aroma of yeast spices, malted funk goodness. Flavour was of rock candied apricots, banana cream and earthy wet grasses that end with a particular funk. Sweet malts line this wonderful beer, which balance the end. Exceptional beer.
