Glouglouburp (2113), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Jul 16, 2008 <b>In short: </b>An herbal yeasty Strong Belgian Ale. Basic stuff.<br />
<b>How: </b>Tap at brewpub<br />
<b>The look: </b>Clear copper body with a very small white had.<br />
<b>In long: </b>Spicy nose with coriander and friends. Yeasty notes of bananas and pears along with caramelized malts, green tea, coriander and some herbs. Don’t know if it’s the noble hops, yeast by-products or added herbs but the beer has an overall herbal feeling. Alcohol is nowhere to be found. Decent beer but nothing special really. I wasn’t too crazy about The Gift but after 15 minutes I was done with it and it wasn’t impolite to put it aside to enjoy something more interesting. If only I could do the same with my girlfriend’s presents. punkrkr27 (357), Clawson, Michigan, USA Mar 27, 2008 Hazy, ruby pour with a big classic belgian head that fades with a nice lacing to a thin layer. Dominant banana and bubblegum aroma wit notes of spice and candi sugar. Flavor profile is exactly what the aroma suggests. Oily, medium full body with gentle carbonation.
