L- Rested and poured carefully (as always!) but my gawd the lumps in this one; it's honestly like watching a snow-globe (context: of 1600+ reviews IDR ever seeing a beer this beyond hazy/bit lumpy => lumpy-snow-globe-like). Hehe, I hope it's going to be ok! Oh otherwise I think it's a mid/deeper gold and has poured with a 3mm fine-bubble white head.
S- Just some light wood/spice for me.
T- Ooh, it tastes waaaaay better than it 'hardly smells' OR looks! I get mucho fruity-ester notes combined with a nice light hoppy-dry aspect.
F- It's got feel, it has a decent malty body to it. I sense the 9%ABV (no longer 10% as in the ^Description) but it isn't shouting at all, it compliments the whole really well.
O- This has 'everything' I enjoy that the Brunehaut Blonde I just reveiewed lacked. It sure as heck looked weird on the pour but not to the detriment otherwise. The taste and feel are lovely and well balanced, I'd very happily drink this again.
330ml bottle BB: 09/22. £4.25 Bought from BeautifulBeers/BurySt.Edmunds as part of a large pick-your own consignment to London.
ps. It now has a new lable, pared back, featuring just a few metallic-red oak leaves...

Am I seriously the first reviewer of this tipple?..... Eeeeek ok here goes it.

Poured into my go to for all blondes Chimay chalice. Great looking hazy body, topped with a Vanilla Ice flat top....which slips out of the charts pretty quickly.

Aroma is unusual, but appealing. A hefty Alco and sherbet hit combines with a deep undertone of over ripe banana.... Nothing I've sniffed of a beer yet.

Taste is strange, but great. Imagine a malty shake infused with a dash of medicinal throat tonic....A bit like a winter sweet, warms in the throat....but my my strong.

Feel is a touch of artificial sugars rather than natural fruit n spice, but aftertaste is good, figs and flora invite you for more.

Overall, a very solid brew, if not lacking a bit of direction. Everyone will like an element of this seasonal Alco infused brew.
