Tap at the brewery. Rating #11. Golden pour with a thin white head. Aroma was light fruit and some hops. Flavor was light, a bit malty, more citrus notes, not bad. (1024)
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 nickd717 (3242) - San Francisco, California, USA - OCT 12, 2009
On tap at The Bruery. Mostly clear golden-yellow color with a medium-sized white head and great lacing. Aroma is pale malt, wheat, citrusy hops, and some slight oxidative notes. Flavor is wheaty and a little sweet with pale malt and grains as well as mild oxidation and fresh citrusy hops. This is almost like a wheat IPA and I can’t believe it weighs in at 8.5%. Drinkability is dangerously high. Belgian Strong Ale seems like an odd category for this, but I guess even The Bruery describes it as such. Palate is medium-light and refreshing with soft carbonation.

On tap at the Bruery. Poured a clear golden/yellow color. Aroma of crisp malt (wheat) and yeast with a bit of light tartness. Some spice. Flavor was the same; quite crisp with a bit more citrus/fruit and spice notes. Just ok by their standards.

On tap at The Bruery. Pours a clear golden color with a white film. Aroma is soft citrus, some spice and a nice mild biscuit maltiness. Flavor has citrus and some other under ripe fruits a touch of spice and yeast, and a somewhat dry finish. Light to medium bodied and spritzy. This is the better of the 2 Mischiefs.

This beer can’t quite make up it’s mind. IPA or Belgian golden or strong ale. Doesn’t work for me. A little less hops would be better.
