Aroma: “Moderate stone fruit, citrus, and pear with some bready malt and low floral spice in the background. Lemongrass fruitiness with a touch of phenolic. Light tartness.”

Flavor: “More pear comes out in the flavor with bready malt. Moderate sweetness, with notes of honey and a bit of caramel, fades into the finish with moderately low bitterness and alcohol warmth to balance. Some nice complexity and smoothness. Vanilla builds in the lingering aftertaste.”

Overall: “Classic Belgian golden strong with pear and citrus esters up front that fade into a bit of malt and a fairly dry boozy finish. Enjoyable body with a balance of sweetness, fruitiness, and spice character.”
