I give LaConner credit for making a Belgian Ale as their spring seasonal. They could have done a more simple beer but they managed to pull this interesting style.

The nose is very Belgian like and the colour is hazy gold with a slight head. What really made this beer worth drinking is the interesting mix of sweetness and hoppy body. I found it quite food friendly and easy to drink. I have a bottle also which I wonder will taste the same.

Appearance – Hazy orange in color with no head.

Smell – This nose starts off with musty orange peel and then gives us a bit of floral hopping and spicing.

Taste – This has a light, floral hop flavor to it complimented by some light fruiting such as oranges and melons. The white pepper spicing at the end is subtle but noticeable.

Mouthfeel – The mouthfeel of this ale was disappointing. It is very flat and thin.

Drinkability – There was no complexity to this ale, and it wasn’t singularly refreshing or dry in the mouth. This is my third taste of a LaConner Belgian Ale attempt and thus far I have been disappointed.
