Bottle courtesy of SS: Poured a bright pale golden color ale with a huge white foamy head with perfect retention and good lacing. Aroma of sweet malt is kind of cloying and more or less enjoyable. Taste is also dominated by sweet sugary malt which is kind of gross with a weird oily texture and light yeasty finish. Average body with some good carbonation. Definitely not the best beer from this usually fine brewery and not something that I am eager to try again and almost makes me want to suggest to the brewery to stay away from Belgian Ale and keep doing the IPA/IIPA and IS.

On tap at the Bocktown in the Robinson shopping complex. Undoubtedly one of the better tasting belgian ales I’ve had the pleasure of tasting. Very light color, lighter than the ubiquitous pale yellow american lager, almost looks like weak lemonade. Very thin creamy head. Very mild aroma like a good trippel. Rather smooth on the palate but not quite as smooth or refined as belgy trippels. Decent carbonation and pretty clean and refreshing for a high alky brew. Hides it’s alky content well. Not heavy nor syrupy. A little perfumy in flavor and aroma. Finish is quite mild. Miles ahead of Brugse Zot, Lagunitas #10 (formerly #9) and Ommegang Rare Vos.
