Note: Many of these will be shorter because I wanted to keep trying more!

Aroma: Incredibly strong yeast and zest aroma that tickles the nostrils. Notes of other fruit as well, perhaps pear/apple. Rich phenols and other Belgian astringency's present. Very minimal malt scent.
Taste: Sweet citrus wheat tones finishing with the strong orange zest that almost permeates into a gas at the back of the throat and stings! Very interesting. I find notes of simple sugar cane and complex character thereafter on all fronts. Fruity orange/clementine at the nose and yeasty to follow. Sweet esters of apricots become more apparent as the beer warms. A drying farmhouse hop bitterness rounds out the very end.
Mouthfeel: The first thing I noticed about this beer was the carbonation. Creamy due to the micro bubbles encouraging the beers body to feel frothy throughout, like most wheat's.Overall Impression: The high alcohol at the finish truly lends something unique! Definitely something to try on a first time basis and rare occasion, but nothing to drink regularly. Drying bitterness, but equally fruity and yeast foreword. Extremely complex.
T1: 83/100
