Light golden orange color with big fluffy white head that shrinks down pretty fast. No lacing.
Big yeasty wheat smell.
Roasted malt, big wheat and yeast flavor. Some hops. Tastes like there's some adjuncts in it. Very oddly melded flavors. They are just not working together. Taste reminds me of mixing a pale ale and a belgian in the same glass at home.
Lighter bodied, overly carbonated. When I take a sip, it starts foaming up in my mouth. It's as if I had a mentos in my mouth at the same time.
I hope I have a bad bottle here, but I can't say I will reach for this one again. This might be a drain pour yet.

Dark golden. Mild Belgian smell. Over powering bubblegum taste

Amber color with average head. Generally the sense I got was of the aromas and flavors of belgian yeasts combined with american hops varieties. Enjoyable but lacked the complexity or distinct flavors that would make it stand out. I should caveat that I'm not too familiar with belgian styles.
