3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
tap at Brugge - Aroma is yeast, banana, lemon zest, and some pepper. Ted Miller said the only additve is rosebuds. Pours cloudy yellow brown with a medium head and great lacing. Flavor is in stages with the yeasty dough in the front, zesty citrus second, and then some tartness from the hops and a bit of spice at the end. Palate is smooth and creamy. An easy drinking lovely saision.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy, opaque (suspended yeast) golden body with a fluffy white head. A soft aroma of light citrus fruit, wheat, mild herbs, pilsner malt, a bit of sweetness, fresh floral wafts and a crisp, Noble hop character. The body is smooth and rather full, despite the light ABV. In the mouth, there is a nice smooth, sweet, fruity start. The middle shows a doughy yeast element, tropical fruit esters, a mild herbal/floral element and a hint of tart citrus. The finish is quite nice with a crisp, bitter twist that is actually rather unexpected. The hops are mild in the nose, but at the finish of this beauty, a fairly intense bitterness arrives and adds a wonderful twist. You are left with a nice taste in the mouth that really pleases. Apparently this just went on tap and could still use a little time to settle and clear out. As the yeast settles and this clears up, it could good from the strong offer that it is to becoming quite amazing.
