Witkap Pater Abbey Single Ale @ Old Oak Tap
This is a Belgian Pale Ale, but looks more like a Witbeer, which was what I thought I was getting when I ordered it since I mistakenly read "Witkap" to be "Witbeer". Turns out I was wrong, but it doesn't look or taste like a IPA (or "BPA" or whatever). Still, though, it's not refreshing like a wheat beer and is rather bland by IPA standards (and relatively weak weak with a 6% ABV). There was a slight metallic after taste that was off-putting. Beer Advocate gives it a B+, which seems a little high. This is a decent spring BBQ beer at best. Old Oak Tap continues to impress, however, at least in terms of its decor. It's food is going downhill, however, as both my girlfriend and the lady at the next table had to send their meals back for being disgusting. My tuna burger was ultra salty, though perfectly cooked. I'll give it another shot, but I'll wait until it's warm enough to drink from their extensive beer list out on the huge patio.
