3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a orange with a one finger white head with decent lacing. Aroma is weak and is of light belgian yeast, bready malts, and some sour fruits. Taste is similar but more robust with some nice sweet malts and citrus hop. Has a medium body with a slightly creamy mouthfeel and a semi dry, medium short, refreshing finish. Overall, a pretty tasty, drinkable belgian ale.
