The menu claims an “intense subtle flavor.” I’m not sure what that means, but if an ordinary ale yeast was used instead of a Belgian, this might be a very nice dry Irish. (It’s not very English as the menu again claims). It features a feathery, nitrogenous mouthfeel, smooth dry-roast flavor, and broad lace. It’s an enjoyable beer all around.

But the Belgian yeast conducting this otherwise English/Irish recipe isn’t entirely suited to the task. It causes no irreparable harm, but I think I’d still prefer the traditional standard.
