Sampled draft @ Delirium Hoppy Loft. Very pale golden, little white. Nose is cold, empty, boring iron, corn. Dull empty beer with lots of iron, very bland, cold metallic, sugar, straw. Dull & metallic. Bland at best, not really good, I had no idea where they were going with this one but seems like they tried to make a Belgian Ale. No idea how they wound up here, this is poor.
