1L howler from the brewpub. Nothing other than the 'Belgian ale' designation which is increasingly popular amongst the hipster upstart breweries around here.
This beer pours a mostly clear, pale golden straw colour, with one skinny-ass finger of weakly puffy, loosely foamy, and generally bubbly dirty white head, which leaves a bit of sparse and remote islet lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of gritty and grainy wheaten malt, some earthy Belgian yeastiness, a bit of plain black spiciness, and some rather understated leafy, weedy, and musty hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, a more subtle Low Countries yeast character, fading generic ground peppercorn, some muddled pome fruity notes, and more weak earthy, musty, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is pretty laid-back in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, as nothing gets all up in my grill at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the crackery graininess pretty much having the run of the lingering morass.
Overall - this is essentially a straight-up, easy-drinking version of the style, with the typical yeast acridity kept duly on the down-low. Nothing all that interesting, but at least I can quaff this without cursing the brewer's name in vain due to an overwrought funkiness, just sayin'.
