Le Roi D'Or
Modern Brewery

 

I had this one at the brewery's tasting room, and then, later, from a crowler. The appearance is a lightly hazy gold color. The head is slim, white, and leaves small tufts of lace. The aroma has a musty scent, a bit of Belgian-style phenols, and some underlying malt. Herbal hops in the taste, which has a bit more malt flavor. Pale, balanced. Bitterness in the mid-taste, not the finish, which is abrupt. Some lite (stone?) fruit throughout the taste. Not bad at all.
