Comments: On tap at Saus in Boston, this is a good beer to accompany Belgian specialties. The beer appears cloudy and orange with a foamy head. The citrus is strong with this one from the muted orange peel aroma to the orange/lemon flavor, punctuated by coriander spice, and followed by a bitter apricot punch. As someone who is not a fan of bitter beers, this is a pleasant exception.

Comments: This cask conditioned German unfiltered lager was on tap at the Boston Beer Works on Canal Street on Independence Day weekend. It’s a honey colored beer with a finger-width head. The aroma is mildly grainy and grassy, while the flavor is sweet up front and creamy, followed by a grain aftertaste. The head remains for sometime and the beer has a sticky mouthfeel. While this is a German-style beer it reminded me of being in an English pub.
