I don’t know about Belgian style, but you can taste the Belgian malts. When I brewed, I swore by DeWulf & Cosyns, and these guys apparently will be scrambling for replacements now, too. Rich gold colour, toasty popcorn, caramel and earthy hops work together. Average in a way, but at the upper echelon of average.

Objectively speaking: Typical golden pale ale that does not want to stand out of the crowds.
I like: Brasserie Jo in downtown Chicago focuses on fine French cuisine and serves a broad range of local micros to accompany them. Their cheapest offering is this regular pale ale from Two brothers, so it serves as a “can be paired with anything” type of beer. Therefore, it assumes its absence of frivolity. Hay-like and grassy hops that become more floral in mouth.
I dislike: Timid light cerealic malts.

12oz bottle labeled best by 2/25/06 (damn, and I just bought it from the store). Poured a medium and lightly hazy golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of grass, light honey and grain. Tastes of stronger grain with a grassy finish. Thin body.

Bottle… Lightly hazed yellow ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Grainy, earthy, citrusy aroma. Medium-bodied and lightly creamy with tingly carbonation. Perfectly balanced, but a tocuh thin and watery. Moderately bitter with low acidity and zero residual sweetness. Short, crisp, mildly tangy finish. Big thanks to Douglas88 for floating this one my way!

12 oz bottle from Armanetti’s in Antioch, IL (October 2006), a bit below cellar temperature in a Chouffe tulip. Slightly oily clear amber-gold pour with a smallish quick-receding head that leaves just a bit of fine lacing....sweetish aroma, honey and berries (cran and blue), a touch of cookie dough though it doesn’t seem worty/underfermented, faintly floral, quite nice....fairly dry, mineralic body, somewhat earthy and saison-like though certainly not as complex as most decent examples of that style, but there are decent light malts here too....tingly light carbonation, drinkable but for me a bit too dry/thin/bland overall to register as anything memorable or likely to be revisited.
