Smell

Slightly sweet and fruity, peach. Typical of Belgian styles.

Taste

A lot hoppier than I expected. Bitter. A little sour. Not a lot of fruit. Doesn’t taste like a typical Belgian. Bitterness lingers, coating the back of the mouth.

Mouthfeel

Smooth.

Overall

It reminds me more of an American IPA than a Belgian blonde, Although I don’t think this tastes like a blonde, I like the lack of sweetness, have been tired of sweet Belgian styles lately. I drank it fast and still want more.
