COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
In the great beer producing country of Belgium, some brewers have made it a tradition to give their beers an unusual name. Sometimes the name is curious, now and then it is diabolical and other times it is just plain silly. Damnation is our brewmaster’s interpretation of a Belgian style Strong Golden Ale. It has extraordinary aromas of banana and pear with mouth filling flavors of sweet malt and earthy hops. The lingering finish is dry and slightly bitter but very, very smooth.

Editor’s Note: this entry is for all batches EXCEPT batches 23, 46 and 69 see separate entry.

This beer opens with an exciting pop of the cork reminiscent if opening a bottle of champagne. It has an aroma of apple. It has a clean not bitter flavor with notes if banana. It is very crisp but distinct in its flavor. A very good golden colored ale satisfies with its full flavor. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

ajnepple (465) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - MAY 9, 2013
375 ml bottle from Campus West. Gold, pale and cloudy with a nice white head and patchy lacing. The aroma is fruity (bananas, pears, light citrus), earthy, Belgian yeast, bready malts and spices. Similar flavor, smooth, lightly bitter and crisp with some carbonation. Medium body with a clean feel and a lingering, dry, fruity finish. Easy to drink, the ABV is hidden well. Nice.

symmetric (33) - - MAY 9, 2013
Attractive clear straw colour. A fairly unassuming Belgian ale; yeast flavor is the main attraction, but it’s not overpowering. Fairly light body, very sippable.

DavidWoodruff (235) - Windsor, California, USA - APR 26, 2013
Appearance: Hazy yellow/gold with large white head. Aroma: Chalky with some light sulphur and malt notes. Flavor: Somewhat minerally with honey, citrus and a dry maltiness. Hops are there for a mildly bitter finish. Palate: Medium bodied with full carbonation. Overall: nice complexity - it really evolves as it warms up.
