Hazy golden-amber colour with a fizzy off-white cap that dissipates quickly leaving a little foamy lacing. The Belgian Ale yeast is noticeable in the nose with some grassy hops that build up as you keep smelling and some caramel malts in the background. The taste is mild, as the alcohol content is lighter. A nice blend of the caramel and yeast. Not really sweet, balanced by the hops. Nicely done for the light style.

Bottled, from Urban Fresh, Ottawa. Cloudy pale orange, rich creamy head. Doughy hay aroma. Mid sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Dough and grass. Fairly low bitterness. Lacks the malt firmness and depth of the better Franconian version, but I appreciate the attempt.
