Tap at Fette Sau. Shared a gallon with friends. (Yeah, at Fette Sau you can buy beer by the gallon on site.) Pours a faintly cloudy, glowing gold with a thick, soft white head. Wonderful Belgian aroma with notes of sweet fruits, white grapes perhaps, and candy sugar. Flavor is quite sweet with light cereal maltiness and subtle fruit notes. There is a decent hoppy kick as well, which helps to balance things out. Medium bodied with average carbonation and a smooth texture. Finishes sweet with lingering Belgian flavors. Really good.

I’m actually pretty surprised I’ve never rated this one before, but it is pretty good stuff. Very clean and easy to drink. It works nicely.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at the Copper Mine Pub in North Arlington, New Jersey.
Appearance: Standard golden body with a nice topping of slightly whipped white crown! Beer is quite clear and has a touch of lacing.
Smell: A touch of spicy hops, belgian yeast, and lemon zest make for a solid nose.
Taste: I was really surprised by how much I liked the taste of this brew. Dry beginning but some sweet malt kicks in until the belgian yeast finish leaves you wanting more. Lemon zest and pepper season it well.
Mouthfeel: Quite crisp and refreshing throughout the swallow!
Drinkability: All day and all night!
Serving type: bottle

(Old BA rate - tap)
Clear light gold color with a pure finger worth of white foam. Yeasty, light (color) fruit, a touch sour, and a nice hop presence. Really great hoppiness stands out first; bit citruisy almost like grapes and citrus fruit at the same time; a little bready. Lightish, but not too thin for the style, and champagne-like tight carbonation. Wonderfully drinkable. Lots of nice tastes and aromas that are too calm, but not overpowering. Overall, a very interesting brew but accessible and nicely drinkable

Growler from Brewery: This one pours a clear, golden yellow color. There was a bit of a white head on it that dies off rather quickly. It leaves a little lacing. Grassy, citrusy and spicy aroma. The taste is a touch light. Slightly spicy (coriander) to the taste. Some malts and extremely faint hops. Just a very nice, lighter beer.

Pours a wonderful goldne color. tastes fruity, with some yeast, slight hops, and not very bitter. heavier than standard light beer with plenty of flavor. This is my wife’s go to beer when we’re at local restaurants serving craft beer and I quite enjoy it as well.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A Sim rate (on tap at Fette Sau): Belgian hops and malt in the aroma. Sweet, but not too much. Great golden colour with a nice head & lace. Hops & that Belgian aftertaste that screams "Golden ale - 8.5%". Average overall. Not great, and certainly not a patch on their sours.
