A- Tallboy pours into a wine glass with a fairly hazy golden-orange body and a frothy white head. That cap rises up to about an inch high with fair retention before dying to a wide belt around the edges. Lacing consists of large sheets after every sip.

S- A fairly strong Belgian yeast presence makes up most of what is found here. A solid mix of pale fruit esters and spiciness with hints of pepper, clove, banana, pear, apple, wheat bread and vanilla sweets.

T- Loses a little bit of the depth found in the aroma but still all about the strong Belgian yeast presence. The spiciness outshines the rest of the flavors with coriander and pepper as the stars supported by hints of apple, pear, yeast bread, wheat, banana, clove, cereal and a touch of lemon zest.

MF- Light-medium overall thickness with a silky and slightly creamy texture. The carbonation is at a moderate level and it all ends with a spicy yeasty, dry bitterness.

A spicy, light and easy drinking Belgian brew. Certainly more of a BPA instead of the usual Saison style table brews you see lately.

Pours a nice golden amber with a frothy two finger head, exceptional retention and nice lacing.

Aroma is light and subtle, fruity esters, toasty malt, light clove and anise. Slightly floral and earthy.

Taste leads with a pleasant bubble gum/juicy fruit flavor, spices like clove and coriander mid palate, then a nice clean dry finish with notes of abuse. Biscuity slightly toasty malt backbone.

Light bodied, very smooth, soft carbonation, easily drinkable. Drying.

This a tasty, light, and drinkable Belgian, pleasant aroma and flavor, light and easy drinking both in flavor and in feel. Highly recommended to any fans of light Belgian styles or fans of Tripels.

Slightly hazy light golden color with a huge bubbly white head. Rich sweet bready maltiness with a peppery and light clove to counter. Easy drinking flavorful but simple. pretty great session.

A - Poured a hazy straw with 1.5 finger bright white head. Left ample lacing throughout.

S - Very sweet on the nose with tons of esthery yeast notes, banana, fruity.

T - Yeast dominant, fruity, banana, mango, esthery, peppery, with a slight funk at the outset. A pleasant malt flavor rounds it out, balance well with ample bittering hops, very low flavor hops.

M - Mouthfeel is little heavy for 4.3%, more than I expected, still very drinkable, but more of a slow ride.

O - it's a nice simple easy drinking Belgian style beer, pleasant, but not spectacular. It would bode better with me if it finished cleaner, instead of with a slight funk.
