12 oz bottle thanks to Steve. Another lighter ale from NG, soft Belgian yeast notes in the aroma and taste. Sweet, and with some substance, some weizen notes too, banana and clove. Interesting.

Pours a crystal clear gold color. Initially quite effervescent. Thin one finger tight white head.

Aroma has notes of clove, ginger, fruity esters, and a light hop aroma.

Taste has notes of clove, ginger, some light bready malts and a touch of lemon and golden delicious apple. Flavors are clean and crisp.

Feel is bright, crisp, and easy drinking. Moderately carbonated. Dry finish.

Overall a unique but tasty Belgian pale ale.

Pours a hazy golden color with a foamy white head that lasts quite a while. Aromas of fruit and sugar. Taste is sweet with some fruit up front. Good mouth feel.

If you gave this beer to 100 BAs I'll bet at least 90 would guess it's a hefeweizen - and a good one at that. I'm struggling with this being called a Belgian pale ale. It has classic hefe aromas and flavors of clove, banana, and bubblegum. At least it's a very tasty beer, even at 6+ months old.

Pours a clear lighter golden color. There's a 1 finger white head. Retention isn't the best, but there's a lot of carbonation bubbles rising in the glass.
The nose is a very nice sweet malty aroma. Slightly fruity. Some spices to the nose.
Taste - It is slightly sweet. I do get slight fruit, to me apple, but very slight. Minimal hops.
Feel - crisp feeling. Nice carbonation in my palate. Lighter bodied, but not watery.
Fairly easy drinking beer. Quite pleasing to my palate.

Really enjoy new glarus and their lagers, but this one feel short for me. Tasted like it wanted to incorporate hefeweizen elements into the base lager feel and grains, but instead sat on top giving hefeweizen orange, bubble gum and wheat, following by heavy lager yeast and grains. Has nice orange and lager malt aromas, but also smells a little like beer burps, somewhat off putting. Just didn't come together for me in feel either, with higher carbonation adding to the confusion of hefe and lager layers. Not that this was bad, just not a do over
