Served on tap in a chalice glass
Appearance – The beer is served a super hazy orange amber color with a small head of fizzy white foam. The head fades quite fast leaving only a light level of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the beer is rather bready and grainy with some moderate aromas of a hay like nature. A yeast smell, which is moderately potent, brings with it some nice fruity banana aromas as well as some spice smells of a clove and coriander. A little bit of a citrus orange smell is there as well, mixing with the rest of the aromas to produce a nice moderately sweet and spiced grainy and hay-like Belgian smell.
Taste – The taste begins much drier then I would have anticipated from the nose. A good deal of a grainy and wheaty bread flavor greet the tongue with them being on the slightly smoother side up front. As the taste advances it grows more and more grainy in nature with some yeasty flavors intensifying on the tongue. The yeast bring with it some spice flavors of coriander and clove with some lighter flavors of an orange citrus nature mixed within. Some lighter banana and moderately strong grassy and haylike flavors develop more toward the end of the taste, with, all the while, the citrus, which brought some sweetness, transitioning to a slightly grapefruit like flavor. In the end, with all the changes that occur in the taste, one is left with a rather dry and crisp, yeasty spiced, flavor on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is on the average side in terms of creaminess and thickness with a carbonation level that is on the average to slightly above average side. The moderate body and slightly higher carbonation are great for the mix of drier bready, yeasty, and spice flavors of the brew, and make for a nice drinking Belgian pale ale that isn't overly fruity and cloying.
Overall – This is a nice brew overall. It is a bit on the drier side with lots of nice yeasty and grainy flavors, making for a refreshing and flavorful Belgian pale ale.
