The nose is intensely aromatic with prominent fruity esters—ripe pears, apricots, and subtle citrus notes lead the charge. Belgian yeast character shines through with spicy, peppery undertones and delicate floral notes, while a gentle herbal quality rounds out the complex bouquet.

Taste

The palate opens with a smooth, malty sweetness balanced by assertive hop bitterness and a notable alcohol warmth. The mid-palate reveals layers of citrus, stone fruit, and peppery spice notes, with the yeast contributing a clean, crisp character that prevents the beer from becoming cloying despite its strength.

Finish
