They called it a "Belgian Style Mild Ale" at Beachwood BBQ. Darkish amber in the tulip glass. With a modest head, and not particularly well carbonated. Nice light mouthfeel, but not at all watery.
the flavor is quite robust, but milder than the typical yeasty Belgian-style concoctions. This has some of the usual bitterness but not much of the yeast. Slightly funky, but it has a great spicy and slightly roasted malt flavor. Sensationally drinkable. One of the the best Belgian-inspired light beers I've had. Almost tastes like it has coriander added. Lack of carbonation is the only fault for me.

On tap at Monkish Brewing Company in Torrance, CA.
Pours a clear orange with a foamy beige head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Foamy patches of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, grain, yeast, spice, and floral aromas. Taste is much the same with a floral aftertaste that lingers on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer that is easy to drink but it tastes better than it smells in my opinion.
