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

Pours golden with a small frothy off-white head. Light tropical fruit aroma, with a hint of hop spice. Light flavor of watery citric fruit, and a bit of hop spiciness. Palate is light and dry, with a very slight acidity, but watery overall. Sure it’d be okay in the summer, but there are better choices for a light and easy drinking brew.

Draught at Old Bay was medium-bodied, with a light hop flavor, mellow wheat flavor and slight spiceness. There is a dry finish and lingering hops and spice into the aftertaste. Nothing assertive but a nice summer beer.

On draft at Penn Valley Pub. Poured clear gold with white head. Scant lacing. Corny nose. By and large tasteless. Slightly wheaty and yeasty. Crisp.

On draft at the Standard Tap. I remember this being a very refreshing herby brew, but am now unimpressed. Pale straw colored pint with no head and no lace. Nothing remarkable, just a well made average brew.

Poured into pint glass from bottle, a semi-clear gold color with a small, bubbly white head. Aroma was some pine and grassy hops, a bit spicy, with a background of malt and wheat. Taste was largely sour with a touch of bitterness and a subtle, underlying sweetness. A smooth beer with low carbonation; thin and a touch oily. A good beer for the summer, but not too impressive overall.

I was actually disappointed by this brew. It is rather bitter for a summer beer and it does not have a wheat flavor like I was hoping. Won’t waste my money on this one in the future.
