First, UnTappd styled this as a Winter Ale. Not having that rubric category on BA (yet), I added this as a BPSA because it is over 7 ABV and because it reminds me of some devilish characters in that rubric.

Friskette has a huge head of medium-sized bubbles that last and form some lace, all on a slightly dishwater blonde bod. Smells are less appealing, a mute maltiness. Tastes introduce the hops and, by the finish, could be muted for my mouth... but probably not necessary for hop-lovers who like this eccentric Belgian rubric. Medium-mouthed to me.

My first from BALF, but I also bought a BALF saison from The Beer Planet in Brussels. And BALF does not have a website (it's InstaGram and I'm hesitant to go into more social media than I need.) But BALF as a cooperative venture seems interesting and represents this new wave of Belgian brewing passion that I've discovered on this journey. A Votre Sante' !
