Aromas of fruit, honey and light malt. Light amber color with a very impressive white head. Near medium body with fizzy/creamy carbonation. Starts a bit tart. Something like apricots with citric acid. Definitely apricots. It’s bitter. Interesting interaction of fruit and hop. Could be a little yeast spice. Clean and refreshing it is. Something like a light unmucky Belgian. Really impressive rendition.

bottle - Pours a slightly cloudy gold with very little head. The aroma is light and mildly hoppy. Malt and yeast flavors are supported by a moderate hops bite. The palate seems thin at first, but as it warms this improves. Well balanced and like many beers, one that improves as it warms from refridgerator to cellar temperature, this is a fairly good beer, but Two Brothers makes better.

Two Brothers version of a BBQ beer - nice and light, kind of pilsner-esque - herbal and grainy - flavorful enough to not be totally innocuous while eating food (it goes well with the brat I am currently eating) - on a summer day, I can see myself downing a whole sixer of this.

Bottled. U.S. Beer #19 of 31 for American Beer Month! Bottle is at least four years old, so let’s see how it holds up: Pours a bright yellow beneath a frothy/spongy head. Odor of juicy fruit pervades shortly after I open the bottle. Taste is thin and just a little bit dry.There is a pretty notable alcohol component that’s expected of an older beer. Well, I held on to it for quite a while, thinking it would age nicely, but it may have not been the proper beer for cellaring. Slightly stale hop taste that might be okay for the style. My rating is a little bit kinder because of its age.

I don't know about Belgian style, but you can taste the Belgian malts. When I brewed, I swore by DeWulf & Cosyns, and these guys apparently will be scrambling for replacements now, too. Rich gold colour, toasty popcorn, caramel and earthy hops work together. Average in a way, but at the upper echelon of average.
