3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
My Bottom Line:
This super clean Belgian-style Ale promotes citrusy and spicy hops within biscuity pale malts, leading to a levelled hop bitterness.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam covers the clear golden.
-The mouthfeel is extremely professional; polished, slick and very easy to drink.
-The usual esters expected from the style aren’t too outgoing, yet they are balanced with the rest of the flavor profile’s mild intensity.
-This is not the kind of beer which will stand out much in a well-stocked beer bar, but it served its purpose beautifully as a quaffer to begin the evening.
On tap at Brouhaha.
