La Brooklynette / La Gnomette Part II

Rating #300. On tap at Rich O’s Gravity Head 2007. I am extremely happy I go the chance to try this beer. I was very excited when I saw it on the Gravity Head lineup. clear light orange with a beautiful big frothy white head. great lacing. juicy orange aroma with nice estery undertones. very balanced lovely bittersweet juicy orange flavor. bitter orange hoppy finish with light estery notes and a nice dose of green hops. medium to full body. beautiful creamy mouth feel. A great very interesting rendition of an IPA. something like a mix of Two Hearted and Hopslam with a nice touch of belgian yeast. well done. fantastic beer.

Orange to amber beer with a fine creramy white foam. Aroma is like a very good full boddied pils with lots of herby and citrussy hops. The beer is malty and very hoppy with lots of caracter. Taste is very tastefull and well in balans. Dry taste with lots of pils-mals and some cara’s, slight citrus accent and perfect selection of hops. Great caracterfull thirst killing beer. Tasted at the ZBF 2007

A Mes rate: Draught at ZBF (The Final Batch 8%). First of all, I have to say I’m swayed slightly by the fact that it has my name on the label. Wow. 8 lots of hops, you have to give that respect. Such a fine hoppy aroma with plenty of citric and spruce notes as you would expect. Very good creamy palate, almost full-bodied. Flavour is floral and again superbly hoppy. This is about as green as beer can get. Dry bittering finish. This is not even my style but enjoyed this immensely.

Draught (The final batch 8%). Golden coloured. Unclear. Dense white head. Herbal, spiced and sweet aroma. Is a bit perfumed, but not unplesant. Herbal and flowery flavour. Spice and sweetness is there. Is medium to full bodied. Dry and balanced. Dry spicy end with a nice bitterness. Really good one.

Draft at DRE. Turbid dark straw pour with some brownish floaties. Aroma of funky yeast, hops, perfumy spicy florals. Tastes caramel malty, hoppy, with funky yeasty notes coupled with some florals. Decent complexity, and very well made.

Draught: Poured a hazy orange amber with light soft white head. Smell was floral and pine cone. The taste was a strong bitter citrus flavor.

Tap at ZBF. They said there are 8 differtent hops are used in this Blond but insted this brew is suprisingly soft tasted, and its lightly citrus.

Tap at the Drafting Room. Hazy orange/amber. Aroma of citrus (orange), yeast and sugar malts. A nice caramel malt backbone. Light bitter finish.
