Sent my neighbor on a beer mission to Toledo, OH recently (he had nothing better to do). While he was on a side trip to visit family at Thanksgiving, he decided to pick this tasty brew up! Good call, BJ!
A - Clear golden color with a lacey white head that fades away quickly.
S - Slightly belgian, with a hint of grass or herbs.
T - Smooth with a hint of spice, citrus, and maybe honey?
M - Again, smooth and goes down easy as it's on the low end on the hop scale.
D - Easy to gulp down! I could probably kill a six pack with no issues.
It has been decided that BJ is making a return trip to his homeland in search of more of this tasty brew!

2011 vintage, so rating set to current average.
Corn adjunct aroma, reminiscent of an American lager. There's a hint of peach and pear esters.
Flavor is similar, an odd pairing, seemingly of an American lager malt bill with Belgian yeast esters and a touch of candi sugar. Very easy drinking, for the style and abv, and no noted oxidation. Belgian esters are pleasant.
I like this better than the score reflects.
