Too hoppy for a table ale, but suitable for a session.
A generous heap of foam (after an exuberant pour) settles to better than average. Smells are largely sweet malts, but I detect aromatic hops in the back of my nose. Actually, the hops attack in the Taste quickly and stay their intensity; making this an ale I would not choose to have with a meal. Soft, even luscious, better than Medium-mouthed. A good yeast.
I bought this from Dilewyns store after an excellent presentation and tour by their CEO and second generation of the brewery. Very impressive progress compared to what many older family brewers achieved in their second generation (which often is one or more centuries ago.) Any further explanations require a lecture I've not prepared. So for now, I give Dilewyns very good Overall Hugs.
3/31/26 I had a second copy from my visit. I edited the above and upped the rating mostly because the yeast is so very effective. I drank this copy next to Vicaris' Tripel and confirm what seems to be a similar yeast. Both effective.

Ordinary modern BPA. Nothing special to be said about it. Drink and forget or better switch to more tasty specimen.

Gold color, very hazy. Foam white, high and lasting fine to medium grained, not very nicely breaks.
The aroma of malt, a little spice notes and a toilet. The aroma resembles lager and miserable all the time is this impression that beer stinks.
Taste: here much better, there are fruits, especially lemon, grapefruit, coriander, and further very delicate malt.
Gentian grapefruit, not too high.
High saturation, mind.

On-tap 10/30/2015 at Doherty’s Ale House, in Warwick, RI, served in a snifter glass.
A: The beer is a deep yellowish gold color, with a large foamy white head that fades slowly and leaves a very thick lace on the glass.
S: The aroma is faint but contains wheat, Belgian yeast, citrus, light caramelized malts and a touch of hops.
T: The taste starts out with mildly sweet flavors of citrus and caramel. Then some breadiness comes in from Belgian yeast and a hearty but not too heavy malt character. The hops presence is good for the style, but not too strong and creates a very good balance. The after-taste is slightly sweet and slightly bready.
M: Crisp and very smooth, light-to-medium body, medium carbonation, finish is very clean.
O: Tasty, goes down easily, not too filling, mild kick, good representation of style, this is a solid beer to drink for a while if you’re in the mood for the style.

Small head that settles to rim bubbles. No lace. Cloudy. Straw to gold color.
Fruity with berry and banana for the nose.
Less Belgian and more fruity. Very effervescent without enough body to counteract the lightness. Short aftertaste. Not bad, but not true to style, imho.

From the 11.2 oz bottle. Sampled on April 29, 2015.
The pour is yellow with a modest white head. Light carbonation.
Toasted malt aroma. Belgian yeast and sweetness. Mild grassy notes and tangerine.
Light and refreshing body.
The taste tends to have a peppery bitterness that lingers for a short time.
