Thanks to Undertaker for sharing.
Second 8 oz. pour of the night, served in a taster glass.

Murky pastel orange coloration, sticky white foam that forms a collar around the edges as the head fades.

Pulpy tangerine, banana, and mild clove in the aroma, a very pleasant combination.

Flavors are similar, dominant banana and clove yeast notes with some mild citrus and mellow hoppiness. Dry, moderately bitter aftertaste that lingers, becoming more dry and earthy with each sip. Mellow feel towards the end of the growler, a bit of the phenolic clove and peppery spice lingers. Smooth and drinkable. The tangerine element was nice, though the clove notes seemed to overshadow it. Overall a nicely fruity and hoppy Belgian Pale.

I think this was 5%, but my memory has failed me so I'll leave the ABV as unknown for the time being. Served in a 4oz taster glass.

A - A finger of white foam settles to a thick collar and partial cap. Hazy white peach flesh body. A few fingers of lace remain as the beer is consumed.

S - Belgian yeast, vanilla, creamsicle - guessing the orange flavor is from the Cascade hops used.

T - Taste is more Belgian, with plenty of spicy, estery, yeast, and toasted grains. Is there wheat in this? Seems like it. Far less sweet than the aroma, and not quite as tasty either.

M - Pleasant active carbonation, dry and slightly grain texture, medium-light body. Pretty refreshing stuff.

D - I liked the smell on this one quite a bit - the contrast of American hops and Belgian yeast worked quite well. Could use more hop character in the flavor. I'm curious how the other versions turned out, but this was quite solid.
