Drinking this at TBC in Tarboro NC.
Poured from a Tap into a pint glass.
Appears yellow, a light head that dropped quickly and very light lacing.
Smells spicy, yeasty, fruity.
Taste follows the nose.
Mouth feel is medium for the style.
Overall, a very light pale Belgian ale that I might order again.

 

 

L: Had this beer on-tap at TBC West, poured into a pint glass. Had a bright yellow color and a cloudy consistency. There was a quarter inch of foamy, fairly long-lasting head. Not much lacing here, though.

S: A fair aroma of hops, Belgian yeast, citrus fruit, and some malt.

T: Tasted of a small amount of malt (mostly in the finish), a little bit of Belgian-style yeast (less than expected), a light hops presence, and a tinge of citrus fruit (lemon, orange). Not a bad flavor, per se, but slightly underpowered. The hops and citrus played well with the yeast, but they all needed a little push. Mildly bitter.

F: A good amount of carbonation with a sharp finish. Medium-bodied.

O: This is one of those beers that's okay, but could have been better. Still worth a look, though.

 

 

So So Belgian IPA. Pours a slightly hazy bright gold color with a small fizzy white head. Head retention is about average and there are thin, filmy streaks of lacing. Aroma is Belgian yeast, some citrus (lemon) and some light hoppiness. Taste is more of the same. The yeast is fairly prominent and the bitterness is mild. Mouthfeel is light, somewhat crisp. Bitterness is subdued. A pleasant enough drink but there are many better Belgian IPAs.
