Found this at Capital Ale house in Richmond.... Supposedly it's the only keg in the US. Pours a bright yellow color, that is slightly hazy, and well carbonated. Blanket of foam forms on top of the glass, and lacing is abundant.

Aroma is relatively mild. Slightly spicy yeast esters, and a hint of sweetness, but little else.

Flavor is quite nice and different. Spicy yeast is a little hidden, but under-ripe light fruits shine. Mostly granny smith apples and bartlet pears. Finish is pear like, and has a slight quality similar to a dry champagne that I can't put my finger on. I see why they call it "experimental".

Mouthfeel is silky smooth and creamy. Drinkability is also high considering the ABV. BA lists this a 6%, but the keg at Capital Ale house say 9%.

Produced by some of the same folks from Achouffe. Served on tap today as part of Max's 72 Hrs. of Belgium here in Baltimore. I went for the "tasting" size, which was probably 5-7 oz. of goodness. Poured a honey golden with half a finger of off white, clingy head. Great lacing.
Aroma of spices and honey.
Very spicey, with predominant candy sugar and some type of herb. Wasn't sure if the herbal quality was natural or just slightly hoppy.
Medium bodied and enjoyable. The lower ABV makes it more of a sessionable brew. I could see several of these mopping up a plate of frites.
