22 oz bottle courtesy of beastiefan2k. Pour is hazed yellow golden with a very loose quick falling white head. Aroma of sweet yeastiness, clove straw hay, herbal maltiness. Nice integration of aromas, very full. Taste is softly sweet - fruit apple apricot, with great herbal straw spiciness right behind that. As with the nose, really nice integration of flavors. Palate is medium to full, soft carbonation, soft and gentle with a long pleasant aftertaste. Really nice and drinkable beer. Thanks for sharing this one Eugene.

Courtesy of MCLK. Pours clear gold with thin white head. The aroma is candi sugar, some modest amounts of black pepper corns, prunes, apricots and floral to spicy hops. The taste is near refreshing with spice hops and earthy hops followed by medium colored fruity esters like apricots and pears. Mixing in there too is candi sugar and a sense of black pepper hanging out on the edges of the flavor.

Bottle, thanks to EDA. Dark blond with some white bubbly head. Aroma is lightly tart malt, flowery hops / yeast and grains. Flavor is the same, with light citrus sourness, grain, yeast and flowery hops. A little high in carbonation, but it is pleasant.

Pours a cloudy light golden colour with a tall white head. The aroma is super fresh with orange peel, caraway seeds, and yeast. Flavor is more orange peel, some toasted malt, and a fresh, light fruity hops finish. Very smooth and balanced - this could be the ultimate session beer. Superb!

Rich, yeasty brioche like aroma. Lightly tart rich bread, yeast, and pear flavor with a lightly spicy drier finish. Very good with huge flavor for such a small ABV.

Thanks MCLK for the share. Pours hazy yellow with a slight white head. Nose is citrus, lemon, some vinegary flavor, and a tartness. Flavor is tart citrus, vinegar, and light malt with the acetic character lingering into the finish of this funky, medium-bodied beer.

Bottle, courtesy MCLK. Clear yellow golden color, frothy white head, wet lacing. Nose has sharp zest, strong Belgian yeast, dry corriander and acidic citrus. Dry Bretty graininess, sweet and salty, some dry malts. Medium-bodied, nice and balanced, nice take on the style.
