<i>From a 330mL Bottle.</i> Mostly cloudy, golden body with a finger of tight bubbled white foam. Fruity pear ester aromas jump out of the glass right away, along with some grapefruit rind hop characters. Pineapple, orange zest and rose blossoms. Hints of bready sweetness. The Belgian yeast character really comes across strong in the nose, while the hops play more of a supporting role. Medium bodied, lightly carbonated mouthfeel with a soft texture. Carbonation is rather low for the style; a slight oxidation presence is also noticeable, but not detracting from the beer. Flavors of bready malt and peppery yeast spice up front on the palate. Some pleasant lemon zest and pithy grapefruit hop characters come out toward the finish, leaving a pleasant bitterness lingering on the palate. Mild alcohol warmth. I like how it’s Belgian first, American hops second. More carbonation would help accentuate the dryness and add more textural enjoyment.

Cloudy honey gold hue, with a big fluffy white head, yeasty, fruity, bready dough nose, with some pineapple, grapefruit, lemon esters, with a spicy coriander accent, and honeyed pale malt, corny sweetness aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, fruity, citrusy, bready dough, honeyish pale malt character, with a nice spicy flowery hop leafy note, with a herbal lavender accent, leading towards a fruity lime, hop dry leafy bitterness finish.

The aroma is very hoppy with both citrus and grass. The malt is there also giving it quite a sweet smell. The appearance is hazy gold with a good but small head. The flavor is like the aroma and improves as it warms. The palate is thin but ok. Overall I like it.

Clear amber with a tight white head. Spicy earthy yeasty aroma. Medium body. Nice earthy, bready pale malt flavor is lightly sweet. Very mild floral hop essence here. Finishes nicely bitter.

Hazy dark wheat pour with a thin white head. Citrus, earthy hops, herbal, and soapy aroma. Smooth thick malt and hoppy chewy taste with hints of citrus and grass. Finishes very nice. No real hoppy bitterness on the palate, very well done.
