8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - part of their ongoing Belgian series.
This beer appears a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with one finger of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves some approaching iceberg profile lace around the glass as things evenly subside.
It smells of bready and doughy cereal malt, some estery old-school yeastiness, black peppercorns, baked red apples, and some plain earthy, musty, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, muddled pome fruity notes, faded yeast, rainbow pepper dust, and more well-understated earthy, herbal, and grassy hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-assuring frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a normal experience here. It finishes trending dry, the malt losing much of its head steam.
Overall - this comes across as a well-rendered version of the sub-style, if perhaps a tad high on the ABC scale (not that I'm complaining). Simple (as intended), and easy to quaff, even if I will never, ever be confused with being a monk, troubled or otherwise.
