Golden pour with some delightful looking, full, frothy head that leaves some great lace. Good clarity on the pour. Attractive looking beer.
Smells and tastes replicate a light yeast note with a touch of sweetness.
The beer is pretty well balanced and as such it *could* be a potential stepping stone for a non-craft drinker. However, the problem is really the ABV. Even though the alcohol is very well hidden, the beer still creeps up on you a little, and even though the alcohol does not necessarily manifest itself too much in the taste, it still comes through strongly in the effect. There’s a little residual sugar too in a typical Belgian candy way. Strangely the beer still drinks easily with a light touch that does not get syrupy.
I like this beer, but the name, the time of year and the relatively light mouthfeel ALL demand a beer that is easier to drink, and on that note this fails. Anyway, tasty but a beer the ought to be easier to consume.
