It appears that this is one of those beers that Beer Advocates love, and I don't.  Personally I found this Belgian Pale Ale to be very dry and wine like.  It seemed aggressively carbonated with a medium to thin mouth-feel.  My primary problem with this beer is that the primary flavor appears to be,... the dryness  Besides the dryness, there is a little spice (clove?) and maybe some bitterness and an essence of citrus.  It's not really complex at all, nor was the simple flavor present, dryness, enjoyable.  That being said, at least it didn't have that thin slapdash essence of macro brew about it nor was it really offensive.  But still, not particularly enjoyable either, at least not to me.  Obviously if you like your beers dry, I assume you'll like this much more than I did.
