Pours an apricot hue of amber, slightly hazy and a very small head leaving absolutely no lacing.

The smell is mainly sweet with some musty, yeasty notes. Small hints of barnyard and more sugary sweetness round out the nose and make this smell very appealing.

Belgian yeast forward, lots of light caramelized malty sweetness on the front. The hop profile is lightly spiced with small amounts of bitterness in the finish. Tiny bits of funk make appearances on the palate, but overall the flavors mesh well creating a round, easy drinking brew.

The mouthfeel is light while remaining somewhat creamy. Nice lively carbonation pull this one together very well.

Overall, I really enjoyed this brew. Not a breakout for the style, but this one comes together very well. Easy drinker here.

A nice slow pour into my over-sized wine glass delivered two fingers of very noisy foamy head. Body is a muted gold color, with a lot of fizz going on.

Yeast and spice scream at the nose. Smells of very earthy and gardeny hops, with slight breadiness and pepper.

Wheat, yeast and peppery spice start her off. This transitions with a spiced bread flavor into a grassy hop taste that ends with a bit of clove. Dry but has just a hint of sweet in between flavors.

This one is very drying, and leaves a bit of film on the tongue.
