Mild yellow, 1/2" of head. White. Aroma had some spice rack and clove, minimal, not heavy.
Minimal hops and bitterness, light malt bill. Its a real light pale ale in the belgian vein, but without the heavy phenolic yeast contribution. I get where they're going with this. Something easy to drink without a lot of taste or ingredients.

Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Scent is slightly sweet with inviting Belgian yeast aromas. Some grain and perfumes as well. Taste is light Belgian yeast with coriander. Light hoppiness and floral flavors. Mouthfeel is very light bodied and well carbonated. Drinkability is high. Overall, this is a good beer as far as Belgian blondes go.

Poured from a Bruery growler into two St. Bernardus goblets. Thanks to HeatherAnn for the assist. Extra special thanks to errantnight for the hook up!
A: Funny thing about this. Bruery growler swingtop stoppers usually blast off when the wire lock is released...this one didn't make a sound when opened. Anyways, it was plenty carbed and survived its' journey well. Pours a chill hazed brassy gold with a soap bubbly head that reached about two fingers thick before slowly receeding down to a fat collar that left a bit of lace in the glass.
S: Mildly spicy/fruity yeast aroma with a hint of herbal hops and toasty grains. Suprisingly mild considering who brewed this.
T: Pretty much like above with an even milder tone. As it warms, more of it's spice qualities come out but I was hoping for a stronger and frutier Belgian yeast component.
M: Pretty right on for the style. Perhaps a little drier than others but given the spiciness and dry/toasty qualities going on here, I'd have to say it does pretty well.
O: A suprisingly ho hum Bruery beer. Not terrible...heck, not bad really. But, not in line with most of the other things they offer.

Light yellow, under 1" of head. Aroma had some clove, not over the top, I guess the right amount.
A real crowd pleaser beer, not heavy, light body, no hops, easy to drink. Similar to kellerweisse from SN, but without the wheat, banana, much lighter. . . more lemon than banana.
A smooth, easy to drink beer delivery system. The lightest in terms of body and flavor profile of any Bruery beer I've ever had. Simple and good.

Served on-draught at the Bruery provisions store in Orange, California as part of a taster. Serving volume was 2 oz. At the time, I thought the serving temperature was entirely too warm, but they're The Bruery, so this can't be attributed to barstaff error. Reviewed from notes.
A: Pours a three finger head of fair cream and thickness, and good retention. Colour is a clear yellow-gold.
Sm: Yeast, light cream, and slight sourness. A clean aroma that is moderate in strength.
T: Light cream opens to a bland barley foundation with slight yeast notes. It's dirty and bland, built crappily. I suppose it's balanced in its blandness.
Mf: Smooth and wet, which doesn't really complement the flavour.
Dr: Easy to drink, but low quality and average ABV. I won't be having this one again.
