Pours a hazy straw from a tap. Somewhat bready with a bit of barnyard, but not terribly anything one way or another. Okay beer I guess.

Bottle (fridge), undated (late Summer), drunk 11/27/15.
Hazy pour despite being in the fridge for months. Orange-copper-golden with a light beige head that is well-retained.
Lilac and other perfume-like notes are fairly sharp in the nose. Really gettin my nose in there and swirling but I’m not getting a whole lot more than this perfumey/grassy character and a bile-character that isn’t terribly strong, but isn’t terribly compelling either. Maybe some butterrcream-like malt and some biscuits and brown bread. Nothing that distinguishes it as authentically Belgian. Maybe some plastic?
Flavor is saccharine-like up front, leading to grassy and floral notes before an incredibly astringent, sharp note emerges and leads to a bile-like finish with more cotton candy-like sweetness. Underfermented, incredibly unclean and what in the hell is this sharp, intense astringency on the end??
