St. Sebastiaan Golden

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

Hazy gold pour with a white head and decent lace. Yeasty aroma. Sweet malts and spicy clove up front. Slight citrus flavor on the finish

scent is of sweet yeast. there is some flaky sediment floating in the glass. taste is sweet and is very smooth. nice finish, too. I would probably purchase again.

Pour is medium golden with a lot o orange peel floating around with a nice fluffy white head. Aroma is sweet with strong notes of citrus and sweet orange. Flavor is the same with more characters of malt and clove. Has a somewhat dry finish as well as a wheat flavor. Good brew. Should rate higher on my scale.

Ceramic bottle 50cl. It pours a golden beer with a small off white head. The nose is rather sweet with notes of peaches, honey, coconut, soy sauce, tobacco and pine needles. Sweet bready taste with hints of apricots, peaches, spices (cloves and coriander) and tobaaco. Some soy-sauce like elements sneaking in accompanied by a huge amount of "le parfait" - not all that pleasant. The alcohol is well hidden. Strange mouthfeel. Grape juice-like. Unpleasant finish with hints of "le parfait". Not worth purchasing again. Very dissapointing.

Appearance: golden color. Medium head, white color, airy and not much lasting. Aroma: yeast mainly, with banana, bubble-gum and mineralized notes. Malty underground and fruity aromas like oranges and papayas. Spicy smells like coriander. Flavor: malty start. Intensive in yeast with notes of bread, banana, bubble-gum and bicarbonate (light). Light dryness from hops with herbal, grapefruit peel and coriander reminiscences. Mineralized aftertaste. Palate: light to medium body and medium carbonation. Remark: disappointment beer, the beautiful bottle and the high price create big expectations.

You know, not one I really liked. I guess it is what it was supposed to be, but if you like this style, you’ll like this one. It was light in color, nice head. Came in a ceramic jug. It was sweet I thought, like Deus and Hennepin.

Bottle. Expensive in the 12 pack! A nice ale. The price is hindering. Maybe for the experience only. Love the bottles!

Pours a light cloudy golden amber color with yeast visible in the pour. Had a nice white head that disipated quickly. Has notes of carmel and honey but they are overpowered by the bitterness. Overall not a bad beer, but not memerable except for the bottle.
