Deep amber color. Medium-sized, white head. Floral aroma with notes of yeast, spices, and fruits. Fruits, yeast, and sweet malt in taste. Very light, refreshing, easy to drink. Pleasant dry finish. It's a Good belgian ale.

Was specifically looking for a farmhouse ale. Close second here, I guess. But the Belgium connoisseurs may differ. Excellent model of balance. Well done. I could rate this higher, but I was in the mood for a belgian type beer and they may have biased my rating, so I took it down a notch. CHEERS!

Unique flavor but fits the Belgian strong ale profile. Pour is pretty dark with a deep amber color. Smell is a fuckload of ora ge and coriander with dark fruits. Taste is biscuity with dark fruit. Very enjoyable and an underrated style of beer.

12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Pours an effervescent straw yellow color with a fluffy head. Aroma and flavor feature light funk, fruity Belgian yeast esters, green apple, hint of booze, and candi sugar, atop a biscuity malt background. Solid BSPA, glad to have finally had this one.
