Brewed & sampled on tap at Oggi's Scottsdale, AZ
This beer is a hazy, light gold color that is topped by a wispy large bubbled head that is a pale off-white color. There is a spicy aroma here with clove contributions up front. There is a bit of a yeasty note here, some grass-like character and a bit of a green apple aroma. The clove makes it have a sweetness in the aroma, but it does not have enough of a spiciness (like a good Triple would) to balance it out.

This beer has a fullish mouth feel, which is accentuated by a sweet malt character up front. There is some spicy, drying astringency in the finish which helps to balance out the up front sweetness. There is a hint of bubble gum in the finish as well. There is a grassy herbal note here as well, but I can't help wishing for more as it would really help to balance this beer out. This would probably be much better if it were bottle conditioned & highly carbonated; as it is (like many draught versions of Belgian beers), it just falls a bit flat.
