A solid food pairing
Appearance-
A medium golden tan hue with mild head retention. Very light carbonation. Nearly opaque towards the edges.
Smell-
Unfortunately its quite muted but comprises mostly of the Belgian yeast. The remainder is slightly floral even as it has warmed up.
Taste-
Subtle comprising of the standard Belgian yeast. The brightness is less than one would expect from a BPA and also a touch sweeter. I also am getting lime and citrus zest. The mouthfeel is also as subtle.
This beer was made to be paired with food and is only consistently served at Rick Bayless' restaurants and at his O'Hare locations. It pairs excellently with food and even copes well with the peppers and strong seasoning of the food. In this respect enjoy it with food and it's concept not just as a beer.

Unknown year for this but my guess is that it might be 10 years old
Look - Really nice clear copper color with a nice white head and rimming
Smell - grainy slight floral with a citrus tone as well
Taste - tangerine tea, nice grainy floral-ness that leads to the tea taste with a really nice tangerine as well
Feel - lighter body with a medium light carb. For being roughly 10 years old, impressive
Overall - WAY better than expected and worth the time to drink!
