Commercial Description:
Anniversary XVI has a distinctly Belgian character having been fermented with an antique Belgian yeast strain. The beer is fermented of wort brewed from Pilsen malts with additions of California apple juice and Belgian candi sugar. This technique produces an extremely pale beer with a rich champagne-like quality in both the flavor and the mouth feel.

Poured a clear light straw color with a medium white head. Aroma of tart apple with much lighter aromas of malt and yeast. Flavor tastes like apple cider (not hard cider), light malt and a spiced/bitter finish. Tastes like coriander. Light body with well hidden alcohol. Warming sensation.

Pale yellow, moderate carbonation. White head, small lacing. Nose of small Belgian yeast & citrusy carbonation. Cider flavors with lots of dryness & alcohol. Lots of farmhouse character with a bite of tart cider. Very nice!

Pale gold with a huge head then nothing. Lively carbonation. Yeasty and bitter aromas with some spices. Tart apples in the nose as well. Warm biscuit flavors with some spices. Alcohol and apples with dough. Some champagne qualities. Bubbly, crisp and light. Finishes with apples and alcohol.

Rating from old notes. Don’t remember the date, but I had it with Goldtwins, so maybe around March 05. Pale clear gold pour with white head. Big aroma of apples. Flavor was tart apples and corriander. Light body and dry, with a bit of a bitter finish.
