A cloudy orangey/amber.Awesome belgium head and lace. Unmistakable aroma of pineapple and spices. This is different. Dull pineapple flavor(not as pronounced as in the nose)yeasty, flowery,slightly carbonated feel in mouth,finishes with a bit of a citric note. Very unique and something Im glad i got to try and would like to try again. If thats worth anything.

Poured a dark brownish purple with a tan head. Very fruity aroma. Blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries. Sweet and tart. A bit sour. Almost like a flemish sour and a belgian strong combined. Lots of flavor and the acohol is well hidden. Excellent!
