On tap at the brewery as well as a growler. Pours with a crystal clear golden yellow hued body with a lasting white head that leaves good lace. Aromas are very hoppy, herbal and spicy, grassy. Pretty clean yeast wise, low phenol and even less ester (some dried fruit). Low malt character. Overall pretty clean, a touch peppery, nearly pils like. Flavors are dry, earthy, and crisp. Medium hops (grassy, herbal). Nicely dry and quaffable, low bready malt character, some mineral notes. Clean yeast wise with some peppery phenol. Very drinkable, lively bubbles, crisp with a light body. Excellent beer.

Golden in color with a finger of white head. Some weird mustard powder aroma. Grainy, a bit of straw, and some bready malt, and floral notes. A light yeastiness, some white pepper, and maybe a bit of pear. The flavor is lightly dry with a lot of cracker malts, grain, bread, and yeast. Just a bit of white pepper and spice, and maybe some of the same mustard powder note.

Draft. Golden beer with a whitish head. light yeast and light spice aroma. Light malt and light yeast flavor with light fruitiness. Medium bodied. Light fruitiness lingers with light malt and light yeast.

ON tap. Clear golden with a fizzy white head. Nice yeasty, fruity, citrus and bread aroma and taste with a good refreshing crispness and a sweet malty finish.

I just had it as "The harlot" I could have sworn it ahd a higher abv. But anyways a yeasty pseudo belgian brew.

GABF 2012, October 12, Friday. Very Belgian in character. Dry with lots of hops and Belgian yeast, but lower alcohol, making me think of Orval or a dry saison. A great beer.
