According to label, the beer style is Experimental. They did use belgian and trappist yeast acc. to label, so I put it in under Pale / Golden / Single as it is only 6% and not dark. golden color, beige to orange head. mild fruity aroma from yeasts, also faint bread, faint malts. flavor is dough, sweet malts, very faint fruity notes, extremely smooth and soft texture, malts play a big role in this one, tastes like how a biere de garde would taste if it tasted well, all the sweetness and softness is very well balanced by a highly underplayed and integrated quite high and very broad based solid bitterness. The combination of bready-sweet malts and super soft texture, and then the wall of bitterness, that combo works exceptionally well, dangerously easy drinking and quenching. The bottle opened with no gushing and the beer is not in any way infected like the two previous ones from the same brewery, that I had. Plus points for stating both ABV and IBU on the bottles, and often good details about ingredients. From the flavor alone I would not be able to place it as belgian style, it's all over the place, cream ale, biere de garde, mild barley wine.. However, I've had tons of weird beligan ales before so perhaps the style fits anyway.
