| Description |
This is a relatively inexpensive Belgian. "Belgian
Style" is all the rage these days, but personally I think they're way
overrated and way overpriced. This brew is a helpful sample if you don't
know your way around the hype. According to Ratebeer.com, Belgian-style ales seldom fit neatly into classic beer styles, but this category represents those "session" ales (in Belgium this means under 7% abv!) that do not fit other categories. Colour ranges from golden to deep amber, with the occasional example coming in darker. Body tends to be light to medium, with a wide range of hop and malt levels. Yeastiness and acidity may also be present. |
