meh; not sure I understand/relate/like this style - this was drinkable but nothing great to me - grass; slight citrus aroma, many things in taste - aroma + yeast, sweetness, light carbonation but not really pulled together
Tap @ OIBF ’16 with Zlotta & Markoijelena. Clear golden color. Dense white head. Aroma’s: fruit, sweetish. Retronasal: sweetish, sugar, light fruit. Flavor is moderate sweet with some fruity sourness. Medium bodied. Finishes moderate bitter. Decent triple.
Sampled from tap at the Oedipus International Beer Festival 2016. Sweetish, perfumy and a little fruity aroma of caramel, belgian candy, some peach and a bit of citrus. Sweetish, a little fruity taste of caramel, honey, peach, citrus, clove and vanilla, followed by a medium long, slightly bitter, a little dry and spicy finish. Medium body, slightly creamy and quite effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Nice!
This draft brew from a beer bar poured a head of foamy fine to medium sized bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a very softly carbonated transparent light yellow orange colored body and a fair lacing. The nice aroma was vinous and floral. The mouth feel was tingly at the start with a mediumly tingly finish with a lingering malty aftertaste. The nice flavor contained notes of semi-sweet mildly bitter mild rye mildly vinous vinous and floral. A decent one that I would consider drinking again.

Cloudy medium yellow pour, two solid fingers of nice white head. Nose is honeydew and yeast. Bitter. Middle is creamy roasted grain (oats?), hint of spice, crisp pear. Finish is dry and refreshing. You do feel the ABV in this one.
Hazy yellow gold... Aroma of fruity esters, Candi sugar, vanilla bean, citrus.... Flavor is so creamy and smooth, lots of vanilla notes, Candi sugar, some citrus... Great beer
We get it, Stillwater. You’re really good at making Belgian Ales, okay? Of course, I’m just as guilty. You keep makin’ ’em, I keep drinkin’ ’em. As Follows is predictably good. It pours golden and heady. Fruity, champagne-like yeast esters, earthy funk, malty bread, and herbal hops. Flavor carries them all forward. The combined flavors of funk, earth, and subtly sweet malt, plus the lively carbonation make for a brilliant cheese pairing. Especially if you like your cheese on the briny, funky side. A little strong for warm weather, but As Follows does about everything a good Belgian should.
Appearance: clear pale gold with one fat finger of rocky head, good retention and patchy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: dry hay funk, lemon zest, stone fruit, vinous oak. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter, light tart. (8/10) Palate: medium-light body, lively to moderate carbonation, dry crisp and lightly tart finish. (4/5)
Another very nice beer from Stillwater. Although they call it a "Belgian Style Golden," it’s got lots of saison-like notes, dominated by a dry barnyardy Brett funk. Easy drinking, impressively crisp and light given the relatively high ABV. (16/20)
Stamped 274:15 11:41, reviewed on 1/29-30. Aroma is fruity, perhaps banana, bready yeast, grass. Color light straw, slightly hazy, vigorous carbonation, tall, white bubbly head. Moderate feel. Mild and fruity taste, banana, almost hefe-like taste which tansitions to a very slightly bitter finish. There is no booziness to this; the alcohol is well hidden. To say this is not what I was expecting is an understatement. Maybe I’m just used to English style of strong ales. To my preferences, this beer is too soft fruity and saccharine. I won’t be buying it again.
Fruity, esters, herbal, alcohol, spices, floral, straw, grassy.

Backlog rating. Keg at Kings Arms tap takeover, London. It pours a clean golden color with medium white head. Aroma is fruity, yeasty and medium sweet, with notes, of peaches, melon, caramel and yeast spices. Taste has more yeast spices, light esters, melon and pineapple, some burnt sugar. Medium bodied with soft to good carbonation. Overall, ok Belgian style
Keg at Omnipollos Hatt, Stockholm Cloudy pale amber, small creamy head. Fruity nose with coriander, pineapple and marzipan. Sweet with full body and well rounded mouthfeel. Spun sugar, honey, marzipan and coriander. Creamy with soothing honey. Sugary finish with a touch of resin and pepper. Typical American style mega-sweet Belgo ale, but its soft richness makes it attractive even with all the sugar.
Bottle from Bethesda Food and Beverage. Hazy golden body with medium head. Nose is citrus, fruits and floral. Taste is sweet, pineapple, citrus, like and papaya. Quite nice and enjoyable.

Ok Belgo stylee.
Amarelo opaco, turva, espuma de boa formação, média retenção. Aroma cítrico, laranja, levemente ácido, malte presente. Paladar novamente cítrico de laranja, . Corpo leve, carbonatação alta. Aftertaste adocicado, médio malte lúpulo, muito bem equilibrada. Só posso recomendar!
Robe blonde trouble quelconque. Fin col de mousse tenace. Arômes de levures belges, pain, phénols de fermentation rappelant les clous de girofle, orange, pamplemousse, zeste de citron et alcool. Semble lourde et complexe. Me fait penser à une tripel. En bouche, la première gorgée déverse un flot d’alcool quasi insupportable sur le palais. Au moins, ça s’améliore par la suite. Plus fruitée, orange et pamplemousse entremelé de clou de girofle. Bonne amertume, un peu épicé. Finale de pain, pelure de banane, orange et alcool. Complexité pas aussi relevé que je le prévoyais. Texture moyenne, corps assez rond. Température recommandée de 10-12°.
Draught@CBC2015. Pale yellowish golden colour with a small white foamy head. Aroma is ftuity, some mild elderflower, mild toffee, alcohol and some slight yeasty and honeylike notes. Flavour is nectar, alcohol, some yeasty notes, sweet malts, honey and a bit tart wooden notes to it as well. Smooth and nicely balanced.
