Tap @ Pelican... Poured clear amber with an off-white head. Pretty solid session beer here. Toasted, caramel malt sweetness. Bready and buscuity with a strong yeast presence coming through. Notable esters, fruits, bananas, bubblegum, and drying spiced finish. Hops were there, but certainly a balancing agent and not really adding depth or bitterness to the profile.

22 oz bottle from Roth’s Sunnyside Market in S.Salem. $3.99
"fermented with Belgian yeast,but built like an English Pale Ale".
Slightly hazy amber beer,with ,thick and creamy eggshell white head.
Nice fresh estery type aromas,slightly spicy but also weirdly English hops.
Slightly black peppercorn flavours and also slightly sour in a green apple way, then fruity hops appear. All rather strange but OK.
Slightly thin palate,but with well measured carbonation that aids in the drinkability stakes.
Overall a weird hybrid beer..that kinda works well in the early Summer weather.
I am happy i didnt have to enter this in the database..i would have no idea wether this was a BPA or strange EPA!!!

Cloudy dark yellow body with a long lasting white head.
The aroma is light fruit and perfume along with a characteristic Belgian funkyness.
The flavor is lightly sweet with a dry finish. Not overly complex but a nice light Belgian Ale just the same.

Amber pour with a thin white head. The nose is a little bit sweet and honeyed. Some light pepper and a fairly light pale malt character. Some soft spice and a touch of herbal character. A little bit of light pepper and some light fruit. A little bit of sweetness, but a touch of soft fruit. Some light spiciness and a touch of clove. Quite dry and crackery. It’s not going to blow any minds, but it’s well-made.
