This beer pours pale yellow in color. It is topped with less than an inch of white head that leaves very little lacing.

The smell is spiced pear along with Belgian yeast esters.

I get pear and spices in the taste.

Thin mouthfeel

It is a well done Belgian pale ale. It is true to style.

Golden, straw colored in the glass with a little haziness in the glass. White head dissipates quickly. Aromas harken to citrusy fruit, a nice tropical marriage to the light bready yeast to overwhelms the flavor. Tastes of grassy, floral hops, laced with fruit. Light bodied, refreshing and crisp finished..

Ozark Belgian Style Golden Ale has a thin, white head, a hazy, golden appearance, some ascending bubbles, and moderate lacing left behind. The aroma is of fruit (pears), some horse blanket, and a touch of spice. Taste is of fruit, hay, low-level to nonexistent bitterness, stomach acid, and a strange chalk thing. Mouthfeel is watery, with that odd chalky character. Ozark Belgian Style Golden Ale finishes semi-crisp.

RJT

Poured from can into wine glass, 1/2 finger head, fair retention soso lacing. Clear bright golden in the glass. Smells slightly of Belgian esters and some floral peeking thru. Taste is initially peppery, fades into some sweetness and then a more floral lemon finish with some lingering fruity yeast finish. Nice drinking beer, will have to have my daughter bring me some more.

 

 

Belgians aren't my thing as a rule, but this is an enjoyable beer. The smell is zesty, some sweet fruit and pepper. Taste is pears with a little tart pepperiness. A slight hop character that is overwhelmed by the sweetness. Medium mouthfeel, medium carbonation. I would choose other's first, but it's a good mix-up from the norms.
