Was expecting hoppiness and that's what I got. A bit too overpowering for my taste, but delicious nonetheless.

Aroma is grassy and spicy, with some lightly toasted bread, citrus, coriander. Hops definitely showing and takes me back to the quiet, quaint town of Poperinge, around which most Belgian hops are grown. Mouthfeel light with medium+ carbonation. Finishes dry with a slightly bitter, grassy finish. Supremely easy to drink, especially on a hot day like this.
