This has to be the most boring beer labeled "Grand Cru" I’ve ever had. Appearance is a light golden color with minimal head. Aroma is like Sprite soda, with the addition of clove/coriander. Flavor is very mild and refreshing. Quite nice for a hot summer night, which is not typically when I’m reaching for a Belgian beer. Mouthfeel is quite light and refreshing.
If there was a big market for "Belgian style ale that drinks like a light beer," then this stuff would go over like crazy.
Still, I would weakly recommend. I got this beer via my guest subscription to the Microbrew of the Month club.

Nov 19, 2008 Pours light, clear, golden with a thin film white head. Aroma of
nectarine, apple, and other citrus fermentingly rich fruit. Mild
lacing and almost no exhibition of carbonation. Flavor is of rich,
rotten, thick and sugary, fermenting fruit. Mouthfeel is syrupy and
only takes a small bit of effort to swallow. Finish is sweet, rich
andf foamy, weak-fruit with a hint of bitter peel.
