Straightforward pale ale with tangy orange, apple and pear fruiting picks up light floral perfuming and slight grassy hop astringency above pasty cereal-grained pale malts.

In the can, dark roast coffee consumes front end of mocha-derived Belgian blonde. Its delicate pilsner-malted yellow fruit spicing maintains a fungi-cellared Belgian blonde influence, bringing lemon rind bittering (and mild limey pucker) to black coffee stead as espresso crema, dark chocolate and cafe latte remnants add to seductive java joust.
In the bottle, tart peach adjunct tucked into vinous white-wined green grape tannins and honey mead-like sweetness for oak-aged 2nd anniversary celebrator. In the backdrop, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigios illusions absorbed by mild whiskey malt tinge and given slight peppercorn pungency.
Wonderful New Zealand-crafted Belgian strong blonde ale lets spritzy lemon sparkle prickle rum-spiced banana sweetness, botanical orange musk and buttery Chardonnay wining as fungi yeast herbage spreads thru vanilla creamed ginger, clove and coriander spicing. Dainty on the tongue yet understatedly intense. A perfect Belgian styled rendition from Down Under.
