Devilishly smooth & Light bodied! This classic dry golden ale is slightly fruity with a subtle earthy hop presence. The bouquet is sweet with a mild spiciness intertwining with a pleasant pineapple character.

Can - lightly hazy gold - nose of dusty and spicy Belgian yeast, floral hops, crackery malt - medium body, creamy texture - dry on the approach, with light sweetness on the back end - peppery, light minerality, moderately estery - finish is brightly fruity and moderately bitter - reminiscent of Delirium Tremens and Duvel, which I suppose is what they were going for, so high marks on that end.

Tap at Drunk Uncle. Pale tan body. Big yeast tone,.rich,.heavy. Perfumey yeast esters. Bold. Dry..next door to Belgian IPA at first. Grew on me a lot. Good.

On tap at Monkless, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is somewhat Duvel-like, with candi sugar, light esters. Flavour is trying to be Duvel but cannot manage it — it's too sugary and estery, but manages to still be cohesive. Pleasant attempt but just doesn't clear the bar in terms of being convincingly Belgian-like. Good overall.

16oz can from Tavour. Medium golden, clear, small, spotty head. Aroma is caramel malts and Belgian yeast. Taste starts with a burst of floral notes, then some alcohol warmth, caramel, butter before finishing with a sharp sting. Darn good.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear gold with a creamy white head. Aroma is a bit yeasty with some spice and a little coriander. Med body. Flavor is not entirely dry; yeast; earth; hot bits - could be clove - could be pepper - could be both. Might even have some passion fruit. :) Nice, but not a trace of Brett - always hoping tho.
