Commercial Description:
Rose is named for Portland, Oregon, the Rose City. She is inspired by the Belgian style known as Tripel. Rose is low in hops, pale in color and deceivingly light in body for its alcohol strength. Through the use of Belgian candi sugar and honey malts this beer achieves a fruity or floral character.

Cloudy yellow with a big, beautiful head. Spicy, citrus and vanilla aroma. The taste was all vanilla nicely balanced with mellow yeastiness. This was fantastic. Sweet, sticky, spicy and just the right bitterness.

12 oz. bottle of HOTD Golden Rose, batch 32. Bottle conditioned for a while I guess, since they don’t label them like this anymore. Poured a reddish oxidized bronze color with a small white head that diminished fairly quickly. Cloudy liquid with a little sediment. Guess I poured it too fast. An awesomely complex nose with big aromas of mandarin oranges and raisins and an old port. Light malty smell with some butter, vanilla, cane sugar, and vinegar. Has a lot in common with the boquete of a sur lie chardonnay. The aroma just seemed to build and build. Some initial sourness of apple cider vinegar nicely balanced with sweet sherry or brandy and some mellow buttery notes. LIvely carbonation. A nice, long, refreshing, and moderately sweet finish. I was blown away by how good this was. A fine beer and highly recommended.

Had a few bottles of this while watching the game. Very fruity and complex nose. Very pleasant notes of berries, flowers, spice, oats, cinnamon, and brown sugar. I swear it smells exactly like Cap’n Crunch Crunchberries Cereal. Pours a cloudy honey with lots of floaties. The massive dense white head is rocky and mostly lasting with great lacing. Heavyweight flavor that is very warm and deep. No shortage of balance here either. The long finish is bitter, sweet, spicy, and sour. The medium ultra creamy body is lively, and finishes alcoholic. This is a colossal brew. Hair of the Dog brews are at the top of my wishlist now.

batch 33 served in a tulip at Toronado, perfect looking in the glass, golden glowing and Chimay foam, floral sweetness, malt cookie clean on alcohol vapor trails, herbal, delicious! -- some sea monkeys though few and very tiny. Orangey flavors and neroli nose notes, tangy and with citric acid feel, nectarine and rindy. This is definitely a sipping beer bordering on brutal. Lots of character and the biggest tripel-category-twister I’ve had. Hints of peat.
