11.2 oz bottle, $3.99 at Merchant package store in Marietta, GA, USA.
Poured into the Abbaye du Val-Dieu chalice/goblet. Very fizzy pour. Over carboated for the style. Lack of head and lace, although some remains on the surface of the macro, yellow/lager body. Appearance is disappointing considering the style and the cost.
Aroma is a bit like an adjunct lager! Has a mild, Belgian yeast experience but not a lot. Not impressed.
Taste has some sweetness and a little Belgian yeast, but this does not really cut in until the end. Lightweight taste and body for a Belgian Pale, this is a disappointing brew for me. Lacks presence and punch.
Nowhere near as good as the Brune that is also in GA. Frankly I was very disappointed in the total package.
