A: Pours a reddish-gold, with a somewhat small, bubbly off-white head.
S: Some malt, sour fruitiness, perhaps grapefruit, and yeast as well.
T: Noticeably metallic, a bit sour with some fruity hints, peach, white grapes, and grapefruit mostly. Just a hint of puckering hops.
M: On the thin side, with weak carbonation.
D: It's okay...reasonably complex, with some interesting flavors. A bit too metallic and thin for my taste. I'd drink it again, but not a beer of choice by any means.

I had a draft of 25 cl in a glass while in Antwerp -- at Bier Central near my hotel. There was a lot going on in this brew, including, Belgian spiciness with some hop. It's the local and I would not market it as APA. It tasted very fresh, which was probably worth a quarter point.

250ml on keg at t Brugs Beertje, Bruges, Belgium (€3.50):
This one was an excellent beer from De Koninck, very smooth & balance whilst seeming quite refreshing too. It was an easy beer to drink with a nice caramel sweetness from the start & some good nutty flavours, although these seem a little strong on the nose than with the taste. There was a good mix of earthy malts whilst keeping the beer relatively light tasting but it's definitely one that I'd have again.

A kind of dull Belgian pale ale.
