Friendly moderate-bodied Belgian-styled white ale overlays up-front coriander-clove spicing and floral hop tease with steadfast orange rind bitterness. Husked wheat, dry hay, and fresh grass provide earthy touch to oncoming candied malt gloss and apricot-quince ascension, though phenol aspect disrupts herbal tea hint.
