Mug Club draft. Wow, had to check the dates on my ratings list, but yep, it’s been only two years since this RB opened, not two years since Tim took over as brewmaster. And 67 brews in that time: a new recipe every ten days! Okay, this is described as a Belgian Blond Ale. Looks disarmingly like a pilsener; golden body, thin white head, very few bubbles. Fruity smell with a tart hint of green apple that wouldn’t be out of place with a cream ale. Taste carries that fruitiness with signs of a warm ale ferment. Golden Belgian malt under bits of apple and cherry. Hops show in bitter prickles on my tongue. Sharp, spicy finish. Hidden "gas" makes this a filling beer.
