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.

Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 25A, adapted). Can 35 cl - Batch SLC 05025 (BB undeclared - Canned on 07/14/25). AROMA: medium fruity esters (orange, some lemon) and phenolics (clove, some peeper). medium-low and slightly sweet malt background. APPEARANCE: gold color and clear. medium white head, with medium to medium-low retention. some belgian lacing. TASTE: similar to the aroma with medium oranges, slight lemon, peppery phenolics. medium-low bitterness with a semi-dry finish with some malt in the aftertaste. MOUTHFEEL: medium carbonation, medium body. slight alcoholic warmth but very smooth. OVERALL: a nice Belgian Blonde Ale-type beer.

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.

From a bomber. Pours a clear gold with a thick off white head. Aromas of clove. Flavors are malty and mildly hoppy.
