Corsendonk Agnus / Abbey Pale Ale from Brouwerij Corsendonk
Rating: B+
One of the few interesting things available at the store I stopped by... Paired it with a fresh salad and shrimp scampi over orzo.
Appearance: pours a pale gold color, mostly clear with some haze (probably hadn't had enough time to settle after traveling). Nice big head, good lace. Pretty much what you expect from a Belgian golden ale.
Smell: It's amazing how distinctive Belgian yeast smells. Lots of that Belgian character, sweet citrus, some spicy hops in the background.
Taste: not as complex as a tripel should be, but not bad.Sweet at the front, but finishes nicely on a dry note. Some fruit and yeast flavors, and a bit of spice. Some alcohol, as well.
Mouthfeel: On the high side of the carbonation scale, light-medium body.
Drinkability: Above average for sure, but (at least at the price I paid for it) too expensive to want to buy again.
Serving type: bottle
