Pours a hazy, murky reddish brown with minimal head retention, smells of baked whole wheat biscuits, caramel, and oats. The taste is crisp and spicy with flavors of peppery wheat and funky Belgian yeast with subtler hints of apple, pear, and citrus underneath the coarse full body. The finish is long and moderately low in bitterness, featuring notes of orange peel, allspice, quinine, and spicy/herbal hops. Overall, it’s bold and complex, with the more accessible notes that are normally amplified by imitators are hidden beneath the more nuanced and complicated parts, making them feel like sweet, fruity rewards for your palate’s hard work.
