jarvo (1347) - Abingdon, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - JUL 11, 2018UPDATED: JUL 11, 2018 Really interesting beer, pale gold, thin head but good lacework. Aroma quite vinuous, and the beer shows influence of wine throughout, but also soft fruit (banana?).

czar (13375) - Québec, Quebec, CANADA - APR 18, 2018from tap on the premises, portland. hazy bright gold pour with a small creamy white cap offering some retention and lacing. super fat chardonnay, honeyed doughy maltiness, smooth wood-like notes, which is pretty kewl considering it's non barrel-aged; belgian yeast spiciness, no particular estery phenols, accent is rather on grapes, minerals. bright to moderate carbonation, light to medium body - oily; semi-sweet yet drying woodsy-fruity-citrusy finish. fun grape belgian strong ale with nice wood impressions - like a nice unoaked chardonnay. enjoyed!

PhillyCraft (11988) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 22, 2017Backlog, Bottle. Pours a hazy orange gold with 2 finger off white head. Notes are baked apples, pear, brett, grass, and clove. Light to medium in the mouth with an ultra drying finish. Can drink a glass of this no problem.
bottleforager (3211) - Gray, Maine, USA - FEB 18, 2017Bottle pulled from cellar and shared with a wine snob. 2012 vintage ? Pours a ripe golden color with three plus finger of white foam. Lots of apple, pear and white flower on the nose with a assertive belgian golden sweetneess. Palate follows but is a bit more muddy than the nose. Lots of sweet belgian candi sugar notes meld into soft fruit nuances. Slight grapey must lingers in the palate with a hint of butterscotch and vanilla. A bit weird, maybe a bit passed its prime but honestly I remember drinking this and Victor a few times fresh with similar results.
joeneugs (6371) - Livermore, California, USA - NOV 18, 2016Bottle. It pours a light golden color with a tall, rocky white head. The aroma has some grapes, baked apple, pear and light spice. The flavor has more grapes, apples and pear with a little baking spice. Relatively light bodied for the ABV, but sweet on the palate. Well hidden alcohol. Well put together.
ROGUE (2215) - Lewes, Delaware, USA - JUL 22, 2016On tap at SLL tasting and 750 ml bottle. Pours a dark golden color with just a faint haze. The aroma is muted but smells vaguely of yeast and lees. The flavor has a lot of grape to it, subtle floral elements and a Belgian yeast funk. Alcohol is kept at bay for the most part, and this is a refreshing option. Full bodied, well carbonated feel with a slight dryness.
