A very nice Belgian Wit Beer and a genuine Belgian abbey ale. I'm enjoying some now and it scored a perfect 100 points on ratebeer.com. The head is creamy and long lasting, there are pleasant notes of citrus and cream in it and while the hoppiness is muted it has a very pleasant mouth feel. 
I picked up a bottle today at Whole Foods when I was there for their "Taste of Baja" where they had all the major movers and shakers of the Baja Med culinary movement there. Everything was fresh and local from northern Baja with artisan olive oil producers, artisan cheese producers, artisan bakers, actual fisherman selling their daily catch, and many of the reknowned chefs of the Baja Med movement offering free samples of their food. My favorite was done by a 70 year old Mexican grandmother who has been running the same street cart down in Ensenda since the 1960's, Mariscos La Guerrerences. I had never thought of sea urchin and pismo clam going together before but they're truly excellent on a tostado with a wash of lemon juice and one of the 40 different home made salsas (some of them extremely surprising in their flavor profile). A close second was the sea snail and scallop tostado.
