Commercial Description:
A tribute to the highly drinkable ""every day"" beers from French-speaking Belgium. Contains Belgian two-row pale malt and 7% wheat. This beer is lightly filtered with an earthy, spicy hop character from imported Styrian Goldings hops and a beautiful rich creamy head from the wheat. Dry quenching finish achieved by use of the traditional sour mash process

This summer beer poured a pale golden color with a good white head. Clear clarity with some evident carbonation. Some floral aroma with a little spiciness, maybe juniper. The taste is clean and crisp showing nice flavor. Some honey, clove and pepper are the most visible as I taste it. The hops linger in the aftertaste displaying a warming effect. A very good beer for the summer.

A light, yellowish colored ale with a slight head. It isn’t one of the best looking beers around being its a little on the cloudy side. Extremely drinkable though as light citrus and wheat flavors are well balanced. Little to no aftertaste. This ale has become one of my summertime staples in the refridgerator and at the bars that carry it.

Poured a light yellow with a small white head. Light grassy and citrus aromas and tastes. Thinner body. Light refreshing beer. Not really my favorite style (light on the aroma and tastes).

Tap. What you expect from an above average summer ale. Light, refreshing, nice yellow hue, good enough head that holds, some hoppiness, faint trace ofwheat and some spice flavoring noticeable.

This is a good Saison. Slightly hoppy, critus, and yeasty flavors. Finishes clean, crisp, and dry.

Fresh fruity hops aroma with light malts. Pale amber clear with thin white head. Medium body with light-medium carbonation. Starts with malt, light acidity, and dry bitterness. Maintains fruity acidity and bitterness throughout. Good citrusy hops. Crisp beer. Nice dry after.

Interesting--sour and salty, almost like it was diffused with part salt water at some point when it was made. Bright gold color. At its base, tastes like a tap ale found anywhere.
