bugs318 - December 24, 2011Head is ever-so-slightly off-white while fairly thick and frothy. It maintains a moderate lace, but has relatively poor head retention. The beer is a golden to light amber color with good clarity and a steady initial stream of carbonation release that diminishes fairly rapidly. Aroma is slight but fruity ranging between pear and pineapple. The flavor is initially fairly sweet, but finishes with a sort of acidic and acetic bitterness that doesn't so much dry out as damage the flavor. It is light-bodied with a prickly carbonation (that as noted diminishes) while feeling quite thin. This is to Belgian Ales what a "premium lager" made by a major brewery is to a craft pilsner: not as bad as it could get, but not very flattering to the potential of the style. I didn't dislike it, but it only made me want to drink another Belgian tonight in order to redeem my faith!
