Appearance: Brilliant copper with an amazing eggshell
head. I have not had a beer in this
style that retains its foam cap as well as this one (5/5).
Aroma: Freshly cut apples, maple syrup, brown sugar,
and a faint “soapy” character (not unpleasant or out of place). Very nicely layered (4.5/5).
Taste: Pressed apples and pears. Beautiful product of the right malt and yeast
combination. No bitterness to report
whatsoever (4/5).
Mouthfeel: Medium body, medium carbonation. Lively (4.25/5).
Overall: Of the
Belgian Pale Ales I’ve enjoyed lately, most of my favorites have taken the
style and spun it into something unique and personalized (unconventional hop
additions, Brettanomyces, etc.) But this
beer has the balls to just be traditional.
Mild noble hop aroma, strong apple and pear smell and flavor, low
ABV. I’m impressed (4.5/5).
