Commercial Description:
This Belgian-inspired amber ale is a one-of-a-kind original. Amber in color, spicy flavors and phenolic aromas from the Belgian Abbey yeast join forces with fragrant German hops and Belgian malts to create a complex yet easy drinking beer. Relatively low in alcohol (for the General at least) this is sure to become a multi-pint hit.

Draft at brewpub. Pour dark amber with some reddish hues and a wisp of a head. Aroma of belgian esters and lavender. Flavor of pale Belgian malts and a touch of spice. Phenolic finish that is heavy on a flavor that I refer to as flower petals, a characteristic that is hit or miss with me. Well brewed and quite interesting.

Draft: Poured a dark amber color with not a lot of head. The aroma was fruity with hints of bananas and spice. The flavor was smooth and lightly yeasted. A very easy beer to drink, one I would highly recommend.

Fresh growler courtesy of JB175. Pours red with a creamy off white head that dissipates down to a thin ring of bubbles that maintain a great lacing on the glass. Smells of bananas, cloves, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, some nice fruity elements (mostly different orangey hints), and doughy. Tastes of coriander, lots of herbs, and earthy. Reminds me of a combination of a white beer and Belgian ale as there are many white beer qualities lingering in this one. Hints of pepper and lots of spicy elements come into play on the finish along with some nutty qualities. Mouthfeel is velvety and not overly thick. The alcohol on this one is not noticable at all. Very rich and full bodied for a 5% ABV beer.
