Light malt and coriander aroma. Cloudy orange color with some white foam. Some malt in the beginning with a moderate amount of coriander that fades in the finish. Slightly stick palate.

I’m not a huge fan of belgian styles but this beer was pretty good. Aroma isn’t anything special. Citrusy, light flavor that would have been a lot better with some added spiciness.

Pours cloudy with off-white color. Nose is banana and citrus. Mouthfeel is soft. Tastes like a white should taste but doesn’t stand out in the style.

A boring example of a great style. This is very easy to drink, but lacking in the flavor department. Aroma was weak. Light spices and clove with nothing else. Pour was a darker gold than I was expecting with a one finger off white head. Taste was very thin. Hints of coriander and lemon are present but hard to find. Decent carbonation. On par with this breweries beers.
