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.

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.

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.

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!

Bottle courtesy of dchmela. Pours a slightly hazy copper with a thin white head. Smells of caramel, some earthy hints, grass. Tastes spicy and earthy with a semi-sweet finish.

This is a pretty sweet drink in both aroma and taste. It pours a clear golden color with a whispy white head that parts soon after its into. The taste is lightly sweet malted with gobs of yeasty fruitiness. The finish is a bit sweet and syrupy. I was surprized to see that this was supposed to be a "Belgian ale" style.

Golden color with a smallish white head. Light malty aroma. Watery feel with few qualities of a belgian golden ale. Golden - Yes, Ale - Check. Just not a belgian ale. Yeast seem off as well as some dirty malt flavors. Call this a american ale and it get a much better score.

Bottle. Poured an amber color with an average fizzy white head that mostly lasted abd had good lacing. Light hoppy aroma. Light to medium body. Light bitter flavor with a light bitter finish of short duration. Drinkable smooth light brew.
