Pint at Beachwood BBQ yesterday for six dollars, never heard of this one but it was one of a few beers there I had not tried yet
A-Golden yellow color, pretty bright with a hint of orange, 1/2 inch somewhat creamy head that did not last long, not much retention, minimal lacing
S-Some hops, sweet malt, grains, light citrus, bananas, some wheat, and other fruity accents
T-Started off with some light hops and had lots of fruit in the middle, mostly citrus and light berries, finish was slightly dry, hops faded and sweet malt and grains came to the surface, needed to have a bigger hop profile to maintain balance and prevent overload of sweetness
M-Medium bodied, lots of carbonation and probably too much for that matter, sweet, slightly dry, and mildly fruity mouthfeel, taste does not linger
D-Could drink a couple pints of this, not too heavy on the stomach, ABV is low, the only thing holding it back is how much it sweetens once it warms
Not my favorite Drake's brew but made a decent beverage on a summer day, would probably skip next time but I do not regret trying it, very light for a Belgian pale ale, also creamy for that style
