Goudale
Appearance: Pours a clear golden color with a frothy head that leaves plenty of lacing action Smell: Bready, with hints of apricot and lemon Taste: Starts out with a toasted bread flavor, which adds a potpourri of flavors by mid-palate (candi sugar, apricot/lemon and tart green apple); some heat from the alcohol arrives just after the swallow, and the sweeter elements outcompete the fruity and tart flavors for the tastebuds' attention through the finish Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderately high carbonation and some warmth in the gullet Drinkability: As others have noted, this is more of a Belgian Golden than a Biere de Garde but it is certainly worth a look
