Draught at the Park location, Summer 2014.
Glassy auburn-cranberry color with some deeper copper hues and a small but fairly well-retained white head atop.
Some peppery, lightly grassy hops in the nose provide dryness while crystal-like malts give light sourdough. This is light and easily balanced by a candi-like sweetness with bits of honey and dry toffee. Some minimal fruitiness (cherry skins, candied orange peel) with a touch of vanilla on the end. No alcohol or flaws.
Dry, hard crystal malts provide their typical iced tea-like flavor but soft and sweet enough base malts add balance while minimal red fruit esters and the same candied orange peel from the nose add complexity. The carbonation feels a bit tighter and while I do see the "not very Belgian" comments as rather true, I’m happier to have no messy/crude esters and be done with it.

UPDATED: APR 7, 2015 Not bad for a red. Has a classic flavor. Some nice hops. Could be better. Had on tap.

Tap at Atwater in the Park. Dark ruby. Not much aroma. Nice body. Pretty malt forward, not much discernibly Belgian to this?
