COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Lunacy is brewed exclusively with Belgian Pilsner malt, Styrian and English Goldings hops and freshly ground coriander. It begins its life with a long patient boil and is cast into the fermenter at 17.5 P. It then undergoes a vigorous fermentation and extended cold conditioning. After bottling, the beer receives an additional 2 week warm rest before it is released. This yields a surprisingly refreshing brew with spicy notes, sweet malt and subtle fruit.

A nice golden brew with fruity and spicy notes. Refreshing for the 7.7% and will age well with even a more complex flavor emerging. It also great mixed with other beers!

KidA (19) - Morristown, New Jersey, USA - DEC 5, 2006

Soft copper-orange with a huge meringue top. Took me 5 minutes to open it completely because foam kept fizzing out past the cap. Scent of fruit such as lemon and orange plus some spicy clove. Sourdough and citrus rushes past the tongue, leaving only a slight warming sweet alcohol ending for aftertaste. Not one of my favorite styles but my only complaint about this beer is thin mouthfeel.

Interesting. Everyone says sweet, but my bottle is sour. I do taste the bananna. I like the strong flavor.
