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.

On Tap at the Blind Tiger Ale House, NYC: This Belgian style ale pours a hazy golden color with a nice sized, white head. The head does not linger long but still leaves nice lacings on the glass. The aroma is sweet and spicy with a touch of coriander and exotic fruits. It has a medium body with moderate carbonation and a smooth mouthfeel. The flavor is sweet with apricots and white grapes, and spicy with coriander. The finish is long, sweet, and a bit malty. This was a very nice version of a Belgian ale.

I first tried this one because it was cheap, at least compared to a real Belgian Blonde Ale. But it’s quite convincing and tasty. Highly recommended. And it’s from JERSEY!

Wow. I really wasn’t expecting this beer to be quite so good. Extra tasty, with a considerably fruity nose. Probably one of the best belgians not from Belgium.

Color is a dark golden yellow with a light maple brown tone, thin white head that faded fast to leave a good ring and sticky stringy and spotty lace. Smell is much like a dubble with lots of dark fruits and tangy malts, dulled dark orange mostly with lemon, a bit spicey and pretty sweet and citrusy on the nose. Good sniffer. Taste is mellowing orange and lemony flavors, nothing to bright or sour, pretty easy going sweet malts with light hops balanced in. Decent full body feel and texture mostly in the middle. Quite a decent offering, I'd have another again any time.
