Snoqualmie Falls Spring Fever Belgian Grand Cru

Hazy orange pour, tall and rocky off-white head with creamsicle hues. The aroma is fruity and lightly perfumed, with notes of mango, orange, cumin, coriander, white pepper and flowers. A hint of lavender and a slight dousing of alcohol round out the nose. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly spiced, lightly bitter and lightly acidic. Fruit notes lead the charge, but succumb to a spice attack mid-palate. Light toasty malt hides in the shadows. Alcohol warmth begins a finish that is somewhat peppery and leaves fruit notes lingering, mildly drying. Mouthfeel is light-medium to medium bodied, well carbonated and lively. Pretty good, quite spicy.

Mahogany with a light head and sheets of lace. Very sweet nose with notes of citrus and spruce or pine. Caramel in there as well. Bitter hops and sweet malts in the flavors. A bit of heat comes through. Almost a bit sickly sweet. Thick and full bodied with alcohol heat in the end.

On tap at The Tap House. Pours a clear bright copper with a lacy white head. Aroma of apricots and spice. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Sweet and spicy taste that for some strange reason reminded me of banana and pepperoni sandwich - not that I’ve ever had such a sandwich.

Deep orange color with a thin head. This was a nice Belgian to drink. The flavors where fruity and dry. This did have some extra buttery notes and the finish was just a tad off. I am not a Belgian drinker so this could be my issues.

Courtesy of Larry Pitonka. Pours orange with a thin white head. Smells of spices, dough, ginger, cumin. Tastes of spice with a full malt profile. Mouthfeel is thick with a wintery spice finish.

(Draught) Served in a Trappist glass. Sampled at Uber Tavern. Pours a thin, white dissipated head with a deep ruby body. Nose is incredibly aromatic: very perfume, malty. Flavour is mildly soapy with an oily ointment texture and a cherry medicine finish. It really tastes much better than the descriptors I’ve used. Honest.

bottle compliments of glkaiser. beautiful colored body. brown, orange and golden in light with thin creamy head. big malty aroma, some citrus, banana and spice. full mouth. lively carbonation. peach fuzz, flowers, a little fig, subtle spice, rich smooth malts. very slight bitterness in the finish. A very different brew. great job with this beer.

Bottle. Light amber coloured with a large head. Sweet and also kinda spicy. A little perfumed in both aroma and flavour. Feels somewhat artificial and sharp. Hints of alcohol and confusing fruit.
