look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

12 oz brown longneck poured into my Leine’s version of the perfect pint glass. The beer is a darkish gold with an off white head.

Nose of yeast, grains and some spice (maybe clove?).

The taste is slightly tart with some spice, a bit of sweet malt, some esters. I see what they are doing and for the most part it works.

The mouth feel is decent with a bit of slickness and some snappy carbonation.

Glad I got to try this one as part of the summer 12 pack.

12oz pour in a pint glass, low head but sticky lacing. I liked the attractive golden-reddish hue. She poured clear and bubbly. An unremarkable ale, when compared to the greats. Light and drinkable.

It's easy to get sh*tfaced drinking Belgians. This; however, provides a Belgian flavor profile with a lighter ABV; hence the "session" label. A bit hoppy for my taste. Overall mediocrity.

A - A bouquet of foamy head well over an inch, yet not very sticky lacing. Color is a bright orange yellow fed by a ton of carbonation bubbles.
S- Distinct Belgium fruity yeast, some bubblegum, and a touch of lemon.
T - Belgium yeast is spot on it has a mild drying aspect of hops and I am getting bubblegum and fruity sweetness. Not sure the hate but it's tasty.
M - Despite the lower ABV the taste is pretty light to medium in body. Not bad.

Overall this is my second one in the variety summer case and it taste like what they were trying to accomplish a full flavored Belgium pale ale with a session able ABV. May buy this again.
