It has a cloudy golden color with a white constant head. The smell has a citrus with Belgian yeast and funky spice notes. The taste has a Belgian spice along a citrus notes. It taste like a Belgian style triple ale. It kind has that old Belgian Ale taste. The aftertaste has a dry malty slight bitter finish. It is drinkable.

Here is a description from their website (www.shortsbrewing.com):

Deacon Blues – Short’s Brewing Company Short’s Brewing Company

Deacon Blues is a hazy yellow Extra Pale Ale brewed with bold American hops, but fermented with a Belgian yeast strain. Diverse aromas of pronounced citrus fruit with subtle layers of spiciness, are the first indication of the array of flavors stemming from this light bodied ale. Snappy lemon qualities, along with a fresh ginger-like liveliness, flow appropriately into a grassy bitterness that’s moderately intense, but certainly not overwhelming.
