Commercial Description:
Since the early 1600's, the Dutch have attempted to breed a pure black tulip. Many have tried and a few have come close...but none have succeeded. Call it the Holy Grail of the tulip world. In honor of this elusive flower we have brewed this special elixir. We have combined the finest Belgian malt, rare European hops, an authentic Belgian yeast and finally, the brew is dusted with tulip petals. The resulting blend is nothing less than magical.

Golden pour, huge white head. Aroma was amazing huge floral scents coming out from the tulips. Taste is pretty sweet, sugar, candy, honey, fruits like apple and pears. Sweet belgian malts and a nice subtle hop bite, finished by the aftertaste of the tulips which was cool. Good beer.

Bottle from Capone’s. Deep gold pour with 1-finger off-white head and a lot of carbonation streams. Nose is rock candy malty, floral, earthy, with honey. Tastes malty, with fruit esters, yeasty floralsd, and a semi-dry finish. OK, but not great.

Bottle shared by todd at the carolina crew tasting. Nose is clove, spices, yeast. Flavor is a little heavy on the alcohol, more spices, pretty sweet overall. This wasn’t great, but it wasn’t terrible either.
