Clear with minimal head retention, smells of hay, sourdough, and honey. The taste is crisp and very funky with notes of honey, clove, sourdough, and lemongrass on a medium body. The finish is long low in bitterness, featuring notes of banana, herbal, and floral hops. Overall, it’s a fantastic Belgian pale, perfectly balanced and complex for days. I remember when I first got into beer about 10 years ago, this was the #1 beer in the world on BeerAdvocate; it no longer is, but it’s still an excellent beer and about as good as any introduction to Belgians as you could ask for.
