COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Belgian-style ale, golden and hoppy. Not quite evil, yet not to be trusted, this Golden Ale is effervescent, dry, hoppy and crisp-you’ll want to keep an eye out. (ABV: 8.5%, IBU: 35, SRM: 4, Format: 750 mL bottles and draft)

Father’s Day beer with Dad #2. I wrote in my notes that it pours "ultra white yellow haze." Mmmmmkay. Scent is of a sweaty citrus. Both a sweet and a sour flavor are present with the sweet coming to dominate. The mouth feel is fuller than expected with a lot of bubbles. This is one of those beers you try once and promptly forget. Draft - Brick Store Pub - Decatur, GA

750 ml bottle from Let's Pour. Aroma is citrusy and malty with a hint of hops. Pours cloudy golden colored with a huge, foamy white head. Very Belgian tasting to start with notes of citrus. Finishes slightly hoppy with a crisp, dry finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Poured from bottle into chalice. Pale yellow color with thick white head. Smells of citrus. Taste of bitter citrus and slight hops, smooth to drink. Good first impression.

Une bouteille partagée en 4. Une robe dorée foncée. Une mousse plutôt blanche qui tisse une très belle toile. Au nez, des arômes de houblons tropicaux et de levure épicée. Des notes d’épinette et de poussière de campagne. Des fleurs et des herbes comme des compléments qui sont les bienvenus. Intéressant comme tout. On dirait une IPA belge. Un goût bien marqué par les houblons et par la levure : je me demande qu’elle est la proportion épicée émise par chacun de ses éléments. Un baiser d’alcool subitement entre deux gorgées. Une base maltée bien nourrissante mais assez neutre en sucre. En bouche, un corps assez dense, amplifié par un pétillement à la belge, bien généreux et confortable. Une texture qui caresse les papilles. Une finale houblonnée, florale et épicée qui développe une amertume convenable qui s’accompagne d’une légère chaleur d’alcool. Une bonne bière qui me semble parfois, en cours de dégustation, difficile d’approche. Ceci dit, n’importe quand à Miami lorsqu’il fait 38 degrés Celsius.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a fairly thick white head. Nose is light and citrusy. Taste is slightly sour with some citrus elements in there. Remarkably light and easy to drink. I like it more than I thought.
