A - Served a clear red-orange with a finger of frothy white head. The head fades at a normal pace leaving behind some lacing.

S - Aroma is a mix of citrus hops with some fruity esters. There is also some Belgian yeasts, some sweet caramel malts, and a touch of bread.

T - Starts off with a mix of sweet caramel malts with some citrus hops and a bit of bitterness. Through the middle some yeast comes through with a bit of breadiness. The finish is a mix of fruity esters with some light citrus hops and some sweet caramel malts.

M - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Feels smooth with a nice sweet and slightly dry finish.

D - Very drinkable. Nice balance of American and traditional Belgian elements. Feels very crisp.

On-tap at Magnolia

A: The pour is a clear golden color with a finger or so worth of white head.

S: Quite spicy on the nose. Lots of Belgian yeast esters along with a sweet bready background and some citrus. There's a bit of an off aroma to it that I cannot quite articulate.

T: A fairly bitter beginning to the glass, which begins to mellow out a bit as it warms. Lots of orange peel, coriander, and perhaps some floral notes too. A moderate spiciness and a sweet malt base.

M: The body is medium with a moderate level of carbonation.

D: No idea what this beer really was (of course there's no description of it anywhere). Wasn't the biggest fan of this one, but it wasn't horrendous either.
