My second taste, but my first review - this one's from the July AleStars evening at the Local Taphouse with Shawn Sherlock.
Pours a deep golden colour, dark for a pale, but pale for a dark. Head is frothy and pretty thick and forms some nice lacing, although it collapses within a minute or so of serving. Looks good overall.
Spicy on the nose, a little light, but quite sharp. A little fresh character on the nose the hints at hops without giving away a full-blown hop bouquet. Definitely some round Belgian yeast characters, giving a slightly meaty and bold fresh bread aromas.
Taste is very true to style. Clean and fresh on the fore, with a big welling of round Belgian yeast characters. Slightly phenolic on the back with a hint of sweaty grain. Very nice. Mouthfeel is light, but suitable for the style, perhaps a tad too frothy.
A very nice and very easy to drink Belgian style ale. The sharpness gives it some character, and it comes across as very true to the examples it's emulating.

Pours a pale golden colour with very decent snowy head. Leaves nice trails of lace, sinks steadily leaving some whisps of white foam behind. Clear and champagney in its appearance, quite pleasant.
Nutty is my first thought on the nose. Fair kick of spice with nutmeg and dry champagney character. Mild Belgian yeast gives off some nice phenols and a slight crisp apple ester. Not bad, fairly simply Belgian nose though.
Taste is a bit lacking. Has fair malt on the front with some hints of pearl barley and a slight honey sweetness. Bitterness comes through around the mid, a slight earthy character with a hint of pine wood and lots of Belgian phenolic character. Not overpowering, bits of peppery spice and capsicum, green apple skin. Mild clove and aspirin towards the back. Yeah, a decent Belgian profile but leaves me a bit wanting.
A bit thin on the feel with a bit of viscosity but yeah, not very sticky. Carries the palate but just bearly.
A pleasant drop, has good flavour that doesn't overwhelm. Definitely sessionable but spicy enough to retain the interest.
