look: 5 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

Bottled: 5/17/12

Pours hazy golden orange with three fingers of head. Steps of lacing appear as the beer goes down. Just gorgeous.

Aroma offers a bounty of fruitiness. Pear, citrus, green melon, apple juice, faint cider vinegar, are all present with sweet biscuit malt.

Less fruity than nose with more toasted biscuit, ripe red apple and some funky brett dominating. Finish brings a wash of bitter dryness.

Soft, lively carbonation. Dry finish.

Great use of brett in this beer. This would be a fine introduction to brettanomyces. Might grab several bottles for the future.

look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

Bottled on 12/02/2013.

(4.0) A: Rusted copper with a tall creamy head that appears eggshell white. Commendable retention with some spotty lacing.

(4.25) S: Nectarine, passion fruit, white grape, pink grapefruit, cloves, grasses, belgian yeast. Fantastic variety of fruits with orchard, tropical, and citrus all detectable.

(4.25) T: Fresh grass, cloves, white grape, banana, nectarine, and cracker-like grain. Nice balance between grains and the variety of fruits. Fairly sweet (nectar-like) but with an
appropriate dryness that lingers.

(4.25) M: Medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Velvety texture that is incredibly smooth.

(4.25) D: This is a very good belgian style pale ale. The variety of fruits that can be picked out are certainly one of the highlights.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

A - Pours a slightly hazy golden colour, thumb of head with decent retention and some sporadic lacing.

S - Fruity cloves, hints of grassy hops and lemon rind, bready notes on the finish with a touch of peppery spice.

T - Much like the nose, fruity cloves and sweet citrus, leafy green and grassy hop notes, hints of bitter citrus rind and a touch of pepper.

M - Medium bodied, smooth and wet.

O - Hits the spot, solid representation of the style, nice flavour profile and easily sessioned. Was pumped to find this locally and am hopeful it will continue to be on the shelves.
