GeneralGao (3545) - Iowa City, Iowa, USA - SEP 1, 2008
Draft at 4th Annual Festival of Iowa Beers. Poured a hazy yellow color with a white head. Initially I didn’t get much in the way of aroma other than some pale malts and perhaps some wheat. Relatively light body. Lighter than I had anticipated for a beer with ’strong ale’ in it’s name. The dominant flavor was smoke, I assume from smoked malt. I was surprised by this, as there was no mention of it in the description of this beer or any of the other beers this brewery was offering. Any pale malt, wheat, or Belgian yeast flavors that might have been in there were masked by the smoke. In retrospect, I could smell the faintest whiff of smoke in the nose. I didn’t get any significant alcohol warmth or flavor. Interesting beer, but as far as I could tell there was no hint of noble hops or the flavors/aromas typically imparted by Belgian yeast strains. Not sure what they were shooting for, but it wasn’t bad for a light smoked ale.
