COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This strong Belgian style ale is made with hand-toasted Pilsner malt, grains of paradise, and fresh picked dandelion greens. Although dandelions are considered a nuisance weed around the world, dandelion greens are a natural toxin-remover, and show up throughout modern history in various tonics and folk remedies. Paardebloem (Flemish for dandelion) has a hazy, deep golden color, a soft-toasted malt character and is 100% bottle conditioned. The grain bill was designed to produce a malty, light bodied beer, emphasizing the flavors of the spices and esters of the Belgian yeast strain. Paardebloem (Flemish for dandelion) was created in conjunction with Chris McCombs and New Belgium Brewing Company. 9.2% alcohol by volume.

douglas88 (4478) - Salt Lake City, Utah, USA - JAN 20, 2011

750 ml bottle. A gruit I guess, no hops, a traditional brew with Dandelions. Pours a cloudy orange color with a large white head. A sweet nose of spices, orange peel and light herbs. The flavor is a smooth Belgian Ale; light yeast, mostly dry, fruity, light flowers, strawberries. Enjoyable, warm and a lot of heft here. A very nice palate, creamy and thick.

Sledutah (3192) - Utah, USA - DEC 23, 2009

750ml bottle at RedRock
Appearance: Pours a cloudy golden with a same white head that dissipates quickly
Aroma: Sour aroma, citrus and grapefruit
Taste: Bitter at first then it is citrus, grapefruit and yeast. Finishes with a mild sour taste
This is a very different beer that is real good. Very well balanced with no real overpowering flavor. Is is almost like a dry wine with a sour taste. I enjoyed drinking it and hope someday that we can get it to go, instead of just available at the brewpub.
