Draft pour as part of a flight at the Brewery Ardennes. There's some nice funk and herbal notes and the floral notes - which I'm sometimes not a big fan of - integrate nicely. Moderate sweetness. Interesting.

On tap at Strangebird Brewery in Rochester, NY.

This one pours a light amber-ish color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like baked bread, grassiness, tea, honeysuckle, and peppery/herbal funk.

This definitely feels like something I’d have in a corked/caged bottle from Belgium, but instead from my local Rochester brewery that makes great pizza. It’s nicely funky, not overly stinky or barnyardy, with a nice peppery and tea-like funk to it, very herbaceous.

This is fluffy, with a nice clean bitterness on the finish, and a nice drinkability.

I love having two breweries locally – Strangebird and Ardennes – that specializes in Belgian beers.
