This ale is made with Belgian noble hops and our Belgian yeast. This combination imparts a wonderfully complex, spicy, clove aroma and subtle dried apricot and biscuit-like flavor. This golden ale is a wonderful entry-level Belgian beer for anyone unsure of Belgian styles.

Some believe it moonstruck madness to craft Old World ales for modern palettes constantly clamoring for the extremes of "Hoppy" or "Sour." While our love for those extremitites is strong, we believe that subtlety, balance, and simplicity in beer are sacred necessities. It is precisely this kind of lunacy that keeps the craft world sane. It takes all kinds to make a world.

Crystal clear golden color. Aroma is very Belgiany, yeast and funky. The taste is sweet and more mild with banana, apricot, and light spice. This beer drinks light and smooth.

Lots of head and thick lacing. It's not clear in a glass but it doesn't say unfiltered. It's 6.5 % and pleasantly flavorful and not "thick" or "oily." It's definitely a worthwhile blonde style although I'd suggest a sweeter after-taste.

Pours a clear deep medium-deep gold with abundant effervescence streaming up from the goblet srem. The pour produces almost 3 fingers of soap bubble foamy, glowing white, moderately lasting head that recedes to a thick island cap and bunchie collar ring but leaves behind minor lacing. Aroma is light but clean bready pale and cracker malt with notes of fruity melon, banana, orange, white fruit and cloves. This taste like a fruity Bohemian pilsner fermented with Belgian ale yeast. How novel. Flavors of bread, cracker/biscuit malt, orange, lemon, grass, banana, cloves and white fruit hints in a dry finish are all present producing a hop bitter dry aftertaste that is out of character with the style but I think that's what they were after. Not as balanced as their video suggests, still it is quite nice. Not World-Class but certainly very good. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, moderate-high carbonation, smooth, creamy, tongue embracing and slightly juicy.
