Can from the lcbo clear copper pour, small white head. Sweet fruity malts, and not much else going on... Mouth feel and carb are OK.... The finish is incredibly musty, stale malts, musty grains.... I couldn’t finish it. Awful.

Hazy golden pour, small white head. Aroma is grassy, with not much else, slight cereals. Very slight lemon, and cereals, with a lot of yeasty esters. Kinda bland, not much going on. Crisp mouth feel, a nice quenching lager, just less flavour than I expected.

Bottle: Poured a golden color berliner with a medium white foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of tart notes with faint wheat notes. Taste is also a mix of tart notes with some faint wheat malt notes and no acidic notes. Body is about average with medium carbonation. A one-dimensional berliner with some refreshing notes.

Taste is also a mix of faint residual sugar notes with some malt notes and light spicy undertones with some bread yeast ester. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable Belgian ale but lacking some cohesion between flavors.
