Directly at the brewpub.
Pours a nice pale gold body with some good legs. Love the flavor, bit of apple and lots of rustic fruit. Very good and hope they bottle this one day.

On-tap during Volo event at Bar Hop
Beer is golden in colour with a large white head. Good retention.
Smell contains light fruit, Belgian yeast and some spice.
Nice flavour. Belgian yeast, light fruit (green grape and Granny Smith apple sticks out), bready flavours. Quite tasty.
Light bodied, moderate to light carbontation. Thin but refreshing.
Overall, quite a nice Belgian Pale.

Lovely balanced abbey style blonde ale: strong smell and taste of malt balanced with deep hops complexity with a long, tangy finish. really a lovely beer.
Arrived at the table in an hourglass pint with over an inch of foamy, floaty head that just didn't want to dissipate. The glass was stained with ribbons of lace when it was empty.
Smell was yeast, spicy malt, and wild Belgian yeast: like a freshly baked baguette.
Taste was list and summery but complex and balanced. Malts and yeasts balanced the hops and the finish of each sip was a lovely lingering spiciness. You could taste the wild spores floating through the Brugge air ... almost. Gives the real Belgian brews a run for their money.
Mouthfeel is full and buttery: it's a good mouthfull of beer. Wonderfullly drinkable.

Excellent lace with a long lasting head; straw color with a minor chill haze.
Surprisingly mild aroma; nothing off, but it's lacking the classicly strong "earthy" nose.
A milder Belgian flavor than most. Again, nothing is amiss, but I would not describe this beer as powerful. Good body with a very high level of carbonation; slightly oily.
This is a great introduction to Belgians for the uninitiated.

Served in a weizen glass at the brewpub.
Pours a cloudy amber, huge and thick white head forms, tons of lacing on the glass, great retention, solid layer until the bottom of the glass. Smell is nice, banana and clove, very weissbier like, brown sugar middle, very spicy, lots of fruit, bit of pineapple, some bready malts, very nice. Taste is similar, lots of banana and cloves, wheat, some dark sugar, lots of fruit, nice yeasty and spicy finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation, very nice. More like a weissbier than a Belgian Pale, but supremely drinkable.
