Pours a slightly cloudy orange color, white head to go with it. Quite a fruity aroma to it. Lots of citrus and maybe some pineapple, a bit of mango, too. Strong citrus flavor, maybe a bit too much, becomes sort of bitter. Some Jolly Rancher sort of candy sweetness, strangely. Sort of acidic on the finish. Medium in body and carbonation.

AKA the English translation, 'Bunny Hop'. I've had this a few times now, these notes from The Trappist in Oakland. I've heard this beer compared to a Saison, a Belgian Pale Ale, and even a Biere de Garde. I guess I'll list it as a Belgian Pale as it's probably the most inclusive style of the three.
The nose is simultaneously floral-hoppy and slightly earthy which helps me understand the Saison comparisons. A fair bit of underlying sweetness cuts through as well.
Flavor doesn't bring any huge surprises and is essentially congruent with the aroma for the most part. The main differences being that the yeast character starts to slightly overpower the hop notes and there's subtle snap of caramel in the finish. Really quite pleasant: herbal, earthy, dry, and estery. In my opinion this compares nicely to the better kegged Belgian examples of the style. Really falls only a hair short, which is quite the feat if you ask me.
I'm really impressed with this early offering from OBC, there are few California breweries ambitious enough to launch with something like a BPA but I'm glad this one went there. This was the first beer of theirs I sampled and still far and away my favorite.
