Can. Gold. No head. Grainy alcohol apricot aroma. Very grainy cereal apricot sweetness with nondescript grainy bitterness long fruity alcohol finish. Slick and heavy and still for style. Not good. $4 down the drain.

Treated as an imperial style, this was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a nice looking golden blonde/yellow color with a nice transparency about it. Some carbonation could be seen rising at a mild pace. Small capping of white foamy head softly dissipating to leave some concave lace.
The aroma smelled like a Belgian pale ale - crisp peppercorn, slight grassy funky to lemony hops then a brisk semi-sweet crisp Belgian bready/yeasty character.
The flavor matched the aroma sweetly through the blend of crisp Belgian bready / yeasty notes. Then there's that aftertaste enthusiastically showing its Belgian aspects ever so nicely.
The mouthfeel, guess what, yes, it feels like a Belgian pale ale. It's medium body provides enough strength to carry the ABV distinctly. Great carbonation. Crisp sweet grassy and lemony Belgian-like bready yeasty finish.
Overall, hot damn, this is good stuff! Really makes me want Spring to come and sip this on my back porch watching the Sun go down!
