| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 26, 2009 Sampled draft on tap at the brewpub (Holland, MI). Pours a clear straw yellow, moderate bright white head that dies to a film and coats the sides. Aromas are decent belgian yeast, a touch of apple and pear sweetness or esters, a touch of champagne dryness. Initial is light and airy, light fruity sweetness, a touch of belgian and champagne yeast combo? A touch creamy, very delicate yet light on the belgian spice (A huge plus in my book). Finishes dry, mellow fruity sweetness. Champagne-esque. Very nice. Cheers!
