Very odd taste. It has a great smell almost like a Boston logger and the taste is just off. Hard to describe this one but not very fond of it.

Poured into a wine glass
A - Dark gold color with a dense 1 1/2 finger head. Slowly subsides. Some tracings on the glass
S - Bright malt, Crackery
T - Off the bat, the hops - not the bitter kinds, but rather a milder, I guess one could say "floral", kind. Some malt flavour, but largely finished by a peppery bite
F - Not a lot of body, but I also didn't expect much to begin with. Goes down clean and smooth with little residue or effervescence on the tongue
O - Overall, a very good beer. Might go for again, but it's nice to officially say I've tried a Belgian styled beer, even if it's only an American copy

Pours out a nice clear copper color with a persistent head. Smell and taste are primarily malt with just a hint of hops. Decent carbonation level with a smooth mouthfeel. Overall a nice average beer. Considering the price point a good value and worth the extra buck over any macro.

A bit light but not a bad tasting beer, I'd drink it again.
