Bottle: Poured a rusty yellow with a fast acting thick large white cream head. The head that would never go away, took me forever to pour this beer! Strong pungent citrus, floral, and fruit aroma. Taste was as complex as the smell. Full of floral and fruit notes along with dry earthy finish.

Bottle pours hazy copper with two inch tan head teased up with a very gentle pour. The aroma has notes of sweet apples and apricots punctuated by various spices, brown sugar and mild malty sweetness. The taste explodes across the palate due to the effervescent carbonation poking out notes of spices, yeasty spices and sharp tartness. The tartness is tempered midway as sweet apple, pear and apricot fruitiness come briefly to the surface. It ends tart with mild drying malt astringency.

I've had a few of their beers, and loved them all. This was one that I had wanted to try, so got to try a small sample on tap in a flight. More of a golden and lighter-bodied ales. Flavors of a farmhouse saison...grassy, wheaty, etc. This isn't really one of my preferred styles for a Belgian, but worth the try.

This poured a golden color with a white head. The aroma contains some lemons, spices, honey, and biscuit. The flavor is malty but a sour presence is there. I am getting some citrus, spices, and more biscuit. The aftertaste is slightly sour with a bit of alcohol heat. Overall a nice but not great beer.

It pours a light and hazy burnt-orange/amber with a bubbly white head and some spotty lacing. A sweet and fruity aroma of apples, oranges, peaches, mango, banana, and spiciness. The mouthfeel is smooth, silky, and rich. Flavors of caramel malts, hops, peaches, apples, oranges, mango, and spices. Excellent!!

Pours a nice, slightly hazy yellow-amber with a VERY thick off-white head that is quite frothy and sticks around for a while. Be careful when pouring this or you’ll get foam from hell to breakfast! Aroma is not strong, but it is pleasingly malty and fruity and a little yeasty. Fruity, malty flavor has a surprisingly hoppy and bitter undertone. Sublime texture is silky smooth on the outside and lively and fizzy on the inside so it slides down the pipes easily yet leaves a nice tingle behind. Love them Belgians!

330 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, and HaandBryggeriet who imports it to Norway. Deep golden colour, big to moderate head. Distinct hoppy aroma with floral notes. ABV is 8%. Alcohol is well hidden. The flavour has the characteristic sharp bitterness of Nugget hops from start to finish. After a few beers of the "well rounded" and "fruity and acidic" kind, this was just what I needed. More "American" than Belgian, perhaps.

This is a style I am unable to figure out. Is it supposed to be dark brown, is it supposed to be hazy gold? You tell me. This one is hazy orange with a thin tight white head. The aroma was yeasty, with some hops in the background. The taste was iffy. Nowehere as good as the aroma would indicate. The malt bite was quite weak and the hops hidden.
