Don’t underestimate this golden beauty, there’s more than meets the eyes here. This deceptively smooth and delicate beer packs a wicked punch. Flavors of apples, pears, honey, lemon and spice.

A - Hazy medium gold color with a dense, one finger thick layer of creamy bright white foam resting on top.
S - Aroma is dry and fruity with pear, white apple, and spice.
T - Dry, fruity, and spicy from start to finish. Pear, a touch of apple, yeasty, spicy with a peppery note, and ends on the sweeter side with a pleasing light peppery citrus bitterness buried under the surface along with some citrus. The ABV is totally undetectable.
M - Thick body with prickly carbonation that softens from the thickness of the beer. Leaves the walls of the mouth dry while the tongue salivates.
O - This is a really nice Belgian Golden Ale and even though this gets a way lesser score on "that other" website, I disagree. This is worth checking out and is on par with some of the others I've tried from Belgium. Dig the dry fruitiness of this one, it's a sleeper. Check it out.
