Poured into a Gulden Draak tulip. Pours a medium golden amber with a quarter finger white head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of candi malt, Belgian yeast, light stone fruit, orange citrus, banana and clove. Flavor is lightly caramel malt, Belgian yeast, orange, lemon, clove, coriander, banana and a little pepper spice. Medium bodied with light to moderate creaminess. My sister called me from Arkansas and said she was camping out on her way to Arizona and I begged her to get me an Arkansas craft beer (one of my last of three states to tick). She want far beyond the call of sibling assistance because she had to backtrack to Little Rock to find a store that had anything except national adjunct lagers. She picked up a six pack of this Belgian style as most promising and vowed to keep one cool and safe until she got back to the Northwest. She is a big Belgian ale fan and was underwhelmed by this one, but dutifully drank the rest.
Day Drinker starts off well, looking and smelling like a good Belgian blonde or light ale, if a little subdued. The flavor also starts out well, with a clearly Belgian fruity yeast profile and appropriate spicing. It falls off a bit in the finish, which is somewhat attenuated and leans more to spices than malt depth. On the other hand, this is not a style I expected to see from that region and is overall a pleasant, if uninspiring take on the style. A nice ale to tick off Arkansas with. Now to convince my sister to drive to West Virginia........

Received from @jdell15 in a BIF. Bottled on 1/14/2020 and poured into a tulip glass. It pours an opaque, bright orange with an enormous, creamy, bright white had and thick, clinging lacing. The head resembles a dollop of ice cream. It has a true Belgian nose: lemon, banana, clove, coriander, and pepper. The taste opens particularly tart; I don't taste any banana. There is lemon and orange zest, along with Brett yeast. The Saaz hops are evident in the dry, earthy, rather bitter Belgian spicing and dose of pepper at the finish. The carbonation is lively and the 4.8% ABV is barely noticeable. Overall, Day Drinker is a pleasant Belgian Blonde Ale that is on the bitter side.

A: Pours a golden/yellow color with a slight haze. A two finger white head forms with good retention and lace.
S: Peppery phenols, orange and citrus aromas. Biscuit and crackers. A nice doughy yeast presents as well. This is simple but well done.
T: The peppery phenolic spice up front. Again doughy yeast with more of a peppermint taste. Cracker like malts and citrus rind. Again, simple, but I like it.
M/O: A light body with crisp carbonation. Very clean. Definitely an easy drinker and I could see myself sessioning this all day.

Fairly simple, and reminds me somewhat of a Wit without the wheat added. A very enjoyable easy drinker, and I will look forward to having more when passing through town again.

Had it from tap at a burger joint. Went great with a burger. Clean, slight hop finish pairs well with classic bar foods.

12 oz can poured into Sierra Nevada twirly glass. Hazy fuzzy golden color with a tall white head diminishing to 1 finger after a minute.

Aroma of nectarine, pepper, hot biscuit, orange peel, and dough.

Flavor is quite yeasty and peppery to start, with slight salt, orange and lemon peel, tons of pears, bread crust, and piney hops. Slight hints of bubble gum on the finish.

Feel is carbonated and intense, with a peppery feel as well, and a nice biscuity dry finish.

Overall, this beer needs to be enjoyed with the mouth full, savoring each individual aspect before the swallow to appreciate it rather than drank quickly. If you drink it quickly, it will taste like a peppery Budweiser. If you take the time to let it soak in, it becomes a much more complex animal, and it's quite delicious. Very good on a hot day.

Hazy gold with little head and light lacing. Light citrusy smell. Slightly creamy and moderate carbonation. Has a nice sweet malty citrus taste with light hops. Pretty good!
