This is Saranac's interpretations of a Belgian Ale. This is no substitute for the real deal but a good beer to turn to, when you are looking for something in that style. For starter, this Belgian Ale pours a cloudy amber with only a little head. Aroma is sweet and very bready in a traditional Belgian Ale fashion. There were also banana like flavors and many floral hops notes complimented by some sourness balanced by just a little bit of sweetness What was very enjoyable was the carbonations. There was a lot of it and the bubbles felt very tiny and almost champagne like. Definitely Belgian style but I would prefer the Belgian variety to this. Than again most Belgians are pricey so this is an affordable alternative. Overall, I found this to be a nice drinkable beer.
