On tap at Max's today.

The beer pours a light copper color with OK head retention and lacing. On the nose, to be honest, this really smells like an American wheat beer (the beer menu at Max's says it's a Belgian Ale). There is some light sweet malt, along with what I normally describe as a "wheaty" aroma. The flavor profile is a bit better, but not a whole lot better. There is some upfront light, sweet, fruity malt flavors, which then evolves/devolves into some light wheat and bitterness. Mouthfeel is fairly light, though I would describe this beer as watery. Drinkability is pretty good, and there's enough flavor to keep you interested.

It seems to me that Brewer's Art makes a lot of these type beers, so I'm afraid I don't quite understand this one. Nothing wrong with it, but it's yet another low alcohol, sessional beer with a decent, albeit nothing exciting, flavor profile.
