12oz can. So...in my mind there is only one Belgian Pale Ale: De Koninck. Unfiltered orange-copper body. Thin off-white head. The malts don't really cut it, more of a cheap, grainy American feel than a European. Doesn't really nail it at all, comes off quite inauthentic and half-assed. Drinkable, not off, just not that impressive.

Slight hint of hop aroma but it's mostly caramel malt and a little Belgian yeast and some spice. Appearance is decent with some sudsy fairly long-lasting head and a nice medium amber color. Flavor is more bitter than sweet and has plenty Carbonic Tang. But has very little hop flavor. Decent body boring finish.

Ordinary copper color. Dry biscuit aroma with yeast, similar to a Chouffe but not as bright with the hops. Flavor has medium sweet malt and biscuit. Moderately well hopped, some orange peel, a little floral and a dry finish. Rather expensive for the low abv.
