Nice belgian. Not too strong and in your face sweet as some tend to be. More hoppy than a lot of them also. Pour was a nice dark amber with a one finger off white head. Aroma had some hops and sugary malt. Taste was yeasty and well carbonated with hints of sugar, sticky malt and a hoppy dry aftertaste. Nice work.

On tap at the Sharp Edge Creekhouse in Crafton. A little more orange than the ubiquitous pale yellow american lager but it’s just as clear. Creamy thin head. Barely any arom but the slight aroma it does have is a clean sweet candy. Rather nice taste impact, friendly and well mannered. Easy to like and no sweat to enjoy. Barely any carbonation. Has some earthy character and feel on the palate and taste buds. Beautiful lacing. Finish is just simply well behaved and amicable. Very good session brew, if I could afford it.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20 StefanSD (1541) - Lakeside, California, USA - SEP 23, 2007
UPDATED: AUG 14, 2008 11 oz bottle from Bevmo. Poured a rich amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma is faint with malts, some spice and grass. Flavor was watered down caramel, some semi-sweet malts and a bit of hops. Mouthfeel was thin and watery with adequate carbonation. Finish was short with hops and a sweet metallic aftertaste. Overall; I won’t be drinking this unless I’m in Belgium and its on tap.

Below average belgina. Pours a brownish read color. Smells of malt and some hints of fruits. Tatses very malty and sweet but the flavor is less than complex. Nothing special here.
