while an overall tasty endeavor, this brew sticks to an unambitious interpretation of a style that has been certainly perfected by its homeland. this brew doesn't add anything to that conversation, but it is certainly doing its best to interpret it for the uninitiated, and for that, it should get positive marks for attempting to convert people to "the way"

poured into a 16 oz. pint glass.

Pour is a little thin. slowly building small white head which has minimum retention and no legs. clear yellow.

Crisp and clean esters with fresh background grass. very inviting.

Taste is great. Very well balanced, a rich burst of banana cleaned up by smooth fresh hops. Bready malt holding everything together.

Very rich flavors that are clean on the palate. The amount of flavor is not relative to the amount stuck in your mouth, good to have everything so powerful without it lingering.

Overall, i highly recommend this beer. If you have a buddy who needs to be convinced that there is more to Belgians than just the yeast this would be a good one to show them.

 

 

 

this is really tasty stuff, sort of in that belgian pale/saison hybrid range, but downright delicious, and i have now been really impressed with both beers i have had from these guys so far! its pale and lightly hazy, earthy wheaty looking with a high rising white head on it and a lot of carbonation from the tap. aroma is softly estery, floral, things like lemongrass and elderflower and white pepper come out, golden honey and dried apple, with a simple malt base underneath and a little bit more hops than i anticipated. great balance of flavor, classically belgian and kind of rustic on the yeast, not as high tone estery as it smells, earthy and refined, with some hop bitterness, an herbaceous character from the hops too, and some light non wild funk. its like spring and fall put together in the same glass. i love the yeast here, i love the level of refinement, and i am now really stoked on this brewery. an old world belgian beer that has been wonderfully executed. i could drink a dozen of these no problem!

 

 

 

A two finger head that is creamy with poor retention. The head left a little lacing on the glass. The color of the beer is a golden color with good clarity. The beer has a decent amount of carbonation visible.

N: Toasted malt, floral, perfume, spicy banana phenols. cloves, crackers, yeast, and some earthy notes.

T: toasted malt, floral perfume, phenols, cracker, yeast, spicy cloves, and a touch of earthiness.

M: Creamy, some carbonation, medium body, and astringent.

O: this is just slightly above average Belgian Pale Ale, I was expecting a stronger hops present and more up front rich flavors. I think the flavor a touch muted.

 

Pour is a clear golden hue, nice foamy big bubbled head that settles quickly to a ring. Smell is reminiscent of Save the Worlds Witbier. Wheat, hints of bananas and cloves. Buttery biscuit like maltiness. Taste has the same wheat profile as well, with a very subtle bitter kick mixed with a dry bready malt. Mouthfeel is very very thin, moderately carbonated. Very one dimensional pale ale. But an overall easy drinker, but nothing I would try again.

 

 

 

 

Poured from a bottle into a snifter. Slightly cloudy golden color with thin head and no lacing. Floral and herbal smell and taste. Spicy and a little lemon. An enjoyable beer!
