1 L howler from brewery.
Pours a slightly less than clear dark reddish amber colour with scant off white head (often find this with growler fills), though decent carbonation up side of glass.
Aroma caramel malt with Belgian yeast, bit of bubblegum note, hint of clove, fruity esters.
Taste sweet caramel malt, slightly fruity - banana, apple, pear - Belgian yeast and spice, very mild bittering hops at finish .
Tame carbonation though I am sure in part as in take home howler, medium body, with primarily yeasty sweetness left on the palate.

650ml bottle - a 'Belgian-Inspired Amber Ale'. 'Nuff said!
This beer pours a clear, medium bronzed amber colour, with one stocky finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly ecru head, which leaves some approaching iceberg profile lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.
It smells of bready and doughy cereal malt, some estery old-world yeastiness, muddled baked pome fruity notes, a hint of earthy spiciness, and some rather tame leafy, musty, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, grainy and bready caramel malt, earthy yeast, a mixed bowl of red apple and generic citrus fruitiness, faint black peppercorn, and more well-understated herbal, weedy, and floral noble hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly restrained in its palate-disappointing frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with very little existing here that might potentially cause a problem. It finishes off-dry, the Alberta craft malt working its lingering mojo.
Overall - yep, this one is 'Belgian-inspired', almost in name only, which isn't a bad thing, per se, as the typical yeast component is definitely more fruity than phenolic. Big and malty, and pretty easy to put back - speaking of which, one nitpick: they could have upped the standard ABV at least by a little bit, but that's just like, my opinion, man.
