Brainless Belgian-Style Golden Ale is has a rich and complex malt flavor balanced with a little bit of spicy noble hops and strong influences of fermentation esters from the Belgian yeast used. Various Belgian like Rock Candies, hops and grains are employed to express variations within the style. Deceivingly drinkable, some liken theses ales to the Devil sneaking up on you, so consume responsibly.

Bottle at Big Texas Beer Fest. Pours a hazy orange gold with small off white head. The aroma is yeast, oak, spice, fruity malt. Slick body, wheat, spice, toasted grain, boozy, dry finish, good.

Bottle bought at GBBF. Sugary sweet canned fruit aroma. Apple juice gold. Bubbly translucent white head soon fades. Initial burst of medium bitter before the sweet edged sourness takes over proceedings. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on sticky. Average-fizzy carbonation. Astringent finish. Aftertaste. Nice. For the ABV it's deceptively sessionable.
