(750ml bottle) Pours a cloudy burnt orange body with a small white head. Aroma of apple, caramel, dough, and light herbs. Flavor of apple, floral hops, orange peel, earthiness, alcohol, and herbs with a disappointingly low level of carbonation in the mouthfeel.

Thick orange brown in color with a nice ivory beige head. Smell is lemon and some funky malt as well. Light and thin flavor that reminds me of watered down duck sauce. Thin and unenjoyable.

750 ml. bottle. Cloudy dark orange/amber with a foamy to frothy head which collapsed with no lacing. Bready aroma with mild spice, yeast and fruit notes (pear/banana). Flavor of cake/quickbread malts, sweet and fruity but balanced well with a peppery spice finish. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Nice complexity and balance.

Cask at Redlight. Redish Amber, fantastic looking beer really. Foamy lasting white head. Aroma of tart fruit, malt and wood. This is wierd tasting and I suspect its cause of it being on cask. With no carbonation its just entirely to sweet and cloying on the palate. Its got alot of complexity for sure and its a nice combination of sour and traditional abbey ale flavors but I suspect I’ll like this alot more out of the bottle. I’d probably thing twice before trying another belgian on cask, it just doesn’t seem to be suited to the style. Belgians rely heavily on good carbonation to counteract the complex sweetness. Here its just too much. I’ll be rerating this soon from the bottle.

Cask at Redlight. Amber pour with a thick white head. Sweet malty aroma with hint of tart berrys. Taste is thick and malty with dry tart berrys. Clean dry tart finish. A little too sweet on cask.

Bottle thanks to Bu11zeye. Poured a hazy amber with white head with good retention. Aroma was full of citris , very nice. Flavor was citris, like a ginger ale, sweet malt, and alcohol spice. Medium carbonation with medium mouth feel. Pretty good beer.....

750ml bottle via Mys Swap 3.0. Pours a cloudy amber with a small head. Nose is fusel alc, banana and sweet malts. Tastes just like it smells. This must be a belgian yeast..is unique..but has the classic belgian profile. Also some spiciness..ginger, cardimom. Body is full. Carbonation is medium.
