AndreasP	2.9 LaBelle Game Over Bready malt taste, more bitterness from hops than aroma and all-in-all a rather ordinary ipa Sunday, February 26, 2017
MeadWhisperer31	4 LaBelle Tourbée Pour les amateurs de whiskys d’Islay, La tourbe est vraiment bien présente, et ne ressemble en rien à ce que l’on peut trouver dans une adel scott, ou une mortimer. De la tourbe, de la vraie, pour ceux qui aiment ça. Wednesday, February 1, 2017
TAR	4.5 Thiriez / LaBelle Confidence Bottle purchased at Thiriez in August 2014 and consumed the same week: Burnished gold. Brooding creamy white head. Extraordinarily polished aroma of pecan, perfumey Alsatian hops, black tea, lemon, dusty yeast, pepper, licorice, and minerals. Fluffy and lush carbonation. Strikingly bouncy and leathery pecan-skin malt cradles a bracing dose of minerals as it dovetails with supple fruity esters. Luscious saliva-inducing malt boasts fat melanoidins which treat the mouth to a sublime sensory experience. Intricate subtleties exude from the pils malt as well, including fresh hay notes which distribute a wealth of dusty textures across the palate, a telltale sign of masterful mashing. Dusty and candyish yeast imparts staggering depth as well as plenty of rusticity, as brilliantly measured phenols step in to sharpen the immaculate cleanness. Elegantly incorporated hazelnut, fallen leaves and earthy chocolate notes reveal an understated malt complexity and autumnal element that enhances the rusticity. Sizzling lemony hop acids flourish in the sophisticatedly hopcentric finish alongside licorice and pepper notes. Oh, the fruitlessness of assigning mere descriptors to a soulful, inspired work of art. This is one of very few beers that’s ever evoked the purity I’ve found in Gänstaller Bräu’s lagers, and I’ll leave it at that. Sunday, May 22, 2016
