Slightly hazy light yellow with a small foamy head. Semi citrusy and grainy nose. Feels a bit watery but not terribly thin. Lots of grain flavour in here with a bit of tartness.

Light almond brown, thick, whipped creamy head. Lightly malty aroma, cherry, mild brettiness. Flavor is burly crystal malts, but quite dry, moderate bretty character, cherry syrup, fruity chalkiness (sweet tarts), clean finish, lightly orangey, ashen bitterness. Graham crackers, sharp carbo fading out.

Bottle. Murky pale gold-amber with a bubbly white head. Nose of peach, oranges and grapefruit from the Amarillo hops, and caramel. Huge complexity from the first sip. Fresh grapefruit and orange with musky brett presence. Caramel malt and fruity sweetness against a wonderful sharp musk. Thick and bubbly with huge drinkability.

Pours a lightly hazy, golden-orange color. A small, frothy white head leaves behind minimal sudsy lacing that mostly rejoins the body. . Spicy and fruity aroma, orange peel, apricots and a soft earthy/spicy yeastiness. Flavor is burly crystal malts, but quite dry, moderate bretty character, cherry syrup, fruity chalkiness (sweet tarts), clean finish, lightly orangey. Not so impressed by this one, expected more from a $15 bottle.

750ml bottle, from MJ’s club. Prost! This is an intriguing beer. Ive had some of these "fusion" beers that mix yeasty Belgian ales with American hopping, and this one does the style some justice. Pours a hazy blond with and orange center and a whole lot of that lacing thing goin on. Citrusy aroma of pear and banana with Belgian yeast, backed up by a greenish pine scent with spice. Complex flavor that teases the palate between the bread-like yeasty and malty Belgian base, the bittering hops and a moderately sour finish from the brett. Very drinkable, and the Amarillo hops makes itself known, staining the palate between each sip. Nicely done.

Bottle at Trappeze. Pours a cloudy orange with a large head. Aroma of yeast, citrus, spice, and hop. Taste is a nice collaboration with plenty of hops mixed nicely into a yeasty belgian brew. Taste of hops, yeast, spice, fruit, funk, and citrus. Mouth is relatively light and smooth. A solid brew.
