Commercial Description:
Brewed with divine inspiration and a combination of pale 2-row, Vienna, and medium crystal malts, this snappy ale is finished with East Kent Goldings and Czech Saaz hops. A special blend of yeast strains creates a malty, fruity aroma with a decidedly spicy finish. Try it with the Belgian classic mussels and pomme frites or falafel, fresh pita, and roasted garlic Tzaziki. Serve at 6 C. in a wide mouthed chalice. Unfiltered. 22 IBUs

Bouteille 660ml, courtoisie de Blankboy. De couleur brune-ambrée et voilée. Nez de grains de céréales sucrées, moyen de levures fruitées (léger de raisins et d’agrumes) léger de caramel toffee sucré, de houblon herbeux avec des notes de biscuits au miel. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-bas et une texture aux notes crémeuses et sirupeuses. Léger goût de levures fruitées (petites notes de raisins rouges et d’agrumes, faibles traces de bananes) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de grains de malt sucrés aux petites notes rôties et terreuses, un léger goût de caramel toffee sucré avec des notes de biscuits puis en finale l’on retrouve une très légère amertume de houblon herbeux (herbes mouillées, traces de gazon et de thé) ainsi que des notes de levures épicées (poivre très doux) et de noix. Post-goût moyen et aux notes sèches, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux avec un léger goût fruité (zest d’agrumes) avec des traces de noix.

Bottle. Dark brown with a thick ring of bubbles. Taste-seltzer water, unsweet honey, barley, light husk, good malt backbone. Good use of malts.

Bottle courtesy of bu11zeye. Orangey dark copper pour with a light top colored head that has that greenish highlight to it. Nose is a bit of burnt caramel and plantains. Taste is watery metal and more bananas. I don’t get much.

Dark amber brown. Toasted malt aroma predominates. Faintly spicy and fruity elements to the flavour profile, but really this is all about the malt it seems to me. Toast and toffee, slightly nutty.
