The Bruery Partridge in a Pear Tree

Bottle: Poured a deep clear copper color ale with a medium light brown foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of sweet malt with some light dry fruits notes. Taste is dominated by sweet malt and is almost overly sweet with very subtle notes of dry fruits and a unrefined grain finish. Body is quite full with average carbonation and no noticeable alcohol. A bit deceiving overall with lacking complexity and some overly dominant sweetness.

Pours a two finger light tan head that fades quickly leaving some lace. Cloudy amber color, lot of suspended yeast. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Sweet and sour nose. Flavor is caramel, ginger and spice . High ABV is hidden. Pricey at $12.45 for a 750ml bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, MA.

750ml bottle. thanks to andrew for sharing....pours a dark reddish caramel brown with a quickly dissipating thin off-white head.....aroma sweet banana, candied sugar, and dried fruit. really fruity.... flavors remain consistent with the nose. sweet with both light and dark fruit. a touch of sour in the finish even. pretty drinkable but i prefer the standard belgian quads but still decent nonetheless.

750ml Bottle: Aroma of slightly tart fruits, wood, plum light spices, fruit, slight yeast, cherries, red wine, and a bit of funk. Poured copper/brown/amber in color with a small, creamy, dense, beige head that diminished quickly but lasted throughout around the edges. Cloudy. Not sparkling. Full of tiny and small particles throughout. Flavor is medium sweet. Tastes of dark ripe fruits, wood, malts, plums, cherries, slight funk, slight spices, slight vanilla, slight chocolate, slight nuts, and a hint of tobacco. Medium body.

Bottle: Stunning amber pour with a finger of creamy beige head. Sweet aroma with hints of Belgian spices. Not overly intense, yet still rich. Tastes rich and again sweet with light Belgian spices. Hints of bananas, cloves, and yeast. A deep, surrounding sweet maltiness rounds out the flavor. Thick mouthfull. Quite enjoyable.

Bottle. Ruby light brown pour with a good amount of beige head. More head than from any other beer I have had from the Bruery. Aroma is sweet dark fruit, cherries and dates. Flavor is nice; very similar to aroma, mostly sweet but not overly sweet. Dates and slightly weird fruit in the finish.
