St. Sebastiaan Golden

Brewed by Brouwerij Moortgat
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Breendonk-Puurs, Belgium

orange gold with a thin filmy head. no lacing. caramel, yeast aroma. light carbonation. yeast, spice, peach, and sugar in flavor. flavor is good but the softness of the palate makes it taste like juice. juicy and flat.

Looked flat from the start and it was. No carbonation and just to smooth. I guess the fanncy ceramic bottle does not work.

Aroma: bubblegum, apricot and some slightly sharp hop notes. Apperance: poures clear amber/brown with a white fluffy head that leaves patchy lacing. Yeast sediment from the bottle makes it lightly hazy. Flavour: intially sugar sweet but quickly gives way to hop bitterness and some lightly sharp citrus peel notes. Palate: medium mouthfeel but very carbonated.

nice golden color, lots of sediment but didn’t taste thick. Mild alcohol taste with a smooth follow. I perfer the grand reserve, but nice change of pace.

Bottle from Super Saver. Great ceramic pop-top bottle! The pour was deep gold/dark straw with a minimal white head. The aroma was bready malty, with some fruit, hopcit, but not a lot of intensity. The flavor was pale malty and honeyfied, with some fruit (pear, apricot), and hopcit, plus some spicy floral notes. Not bad, but not a standout, either.

NIce package; the ceramic bollte and swing top were classic. palate: fruity and hoppy with a splash of alcohol flavor on the backend. Over all a good drinking beer, with some class.

Bottle. pours golden with a white head. Aroma of sweet malt, yeast, and fruit. Flavor is sweet, citrus, and fruit.

Bottle. Amber beer with no head. Sweet malt and yeast aroma with candi sugar and bubblegum. Low carbonation. Fruity esters with spicey yeast and sweet malt flavors. Nothing special. Carbonation is a problem.
