Got this one on a whim when I couldn't find something else I was looking for. Golden-orange color with a thick and foamy light brownish-orange head. Light citrus and hops in the aroma. Smooth flavor with medium hops, this is definitely not a hard beer to drink. Hoppy, slightly spicy finish. Somewhat subdued overall, and I have the feeling I won't remember this one in a few months because nothing really stood out.

Bight yellowish straw with a faint chill haze, superb lacing.

Moderate body and quite crisp. Honey like malt and modest medicinal phenols find balance, faint alcoholic esters within the fruitiness. Touch of yeast adds a dough character in the middle.

One of my all time favourites in the bottle, on tap it was pretty damn good as well.

This beer poured a nice light golden color and formed a white foamy head that left some lace when it quickly subsided. Some degree of carbonation. An aroma of grass and spice. A flavor of hops, spice and yeast. The finish was a bit tart, due in part to the carbonation and spice.

Not a lot in the nose, but very complex taste. A bit sour at first, not to the extent of a Cantillon but in the same vein. Plenty of other nuances I couldn't easily identify, but very easy to drink, and I would have one again in a second.

Hazy light orange hue. Thin but persistent head, tight, high carbonation. Spicy, peppery and sweet aroma. A hint of coriander and dried curacao. Slight clove notes and bubblegum esters in the taste, some notes of pear. Very akin to a more intensely estery and maltier Wit. This is a very interesting brew-- not unlike a Wit/ strong golden ale hybrid. Definitely worth a try.
