Mug club draft. Cloudy straw color in the glass, and by that I mean real straw, niot the light yellow crayon. Stiff meringue style head. Smell is subdued, with just a bit of pale malt, fruit esters and alcohol warmth. Taste is what we’d expect of a Belgian Pale Ale. I thought there was some wheat malt in it, leading to those fruity esters with a hint of bubble gum. Saaz is such a standard hop that it’s hard to say where it stands out. there is a bit of a floral component coming in. A slightly yeasty finish.
