Mostly clear, green-gold, very thin head. Light Belgian aroma, dubbel-esque, contrary to the appearance, and a little smoked/tawny smelling. Tart, clear gel Belgian flavor, astringent bittering (what little of it there is.) Unripe sloes, stonefruit flavors. Medium body, flabby, sour finish.

Had this at the Wheeling restaurant. I suppose Ernest is right in saying that this is an oversimplified version of a Belgian Strong, but it’s still decent nonetheless. Basically, it’s a generic version, but it’s drinkable.

Draught. Body is light yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), with notes of banana and clove. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Alcohol seems to be well-hidden, but this is an over-simplified representation of Belgian golden ales. I'm glad more and more microbrewers and brewpubs in America are attempting to replicate Belgian beer in general, though.
