This straw colored beer greets with an aroma of noble hops, pears and Belgian esters. The flavor follows nicely with a moderately spicy hop and Belgian yeast effect buoyed by a soft malt body. The finish is crisp and dry. We enjoy this beer with spicy foods, grilled steaks, grilled chicken and mandarin salad. Where you take it is only limited by your imagination. For those interested in styles, the name of this beer comes from the color over trying to meet any particular style.

My last experience with this was on cask - and it was outstanding. The natural carbonation played extremely well with the style... rich creamy head with a smooth mouth feel. Belgian esters and fruit up front with a balanced hop bitterness made it extremely drinkable.

Bready banana-ish malt up front, unexpectedly well balanced with spicy bitter hops. Hops are a tad harsh or medicinal, but well played with respect with respect to the malt.
