Bottle at Eulogy. Cloudy orange gold pour with a large foamy bright white head. Lasting lace. Fuller-bodied than expected. Coriander. Celery heart. Pineapple. Juniper. Citrus peels. A creamy Belgium Blonde spices with some mild farmhouse notes. Not particularly experimental but not bad. Great flavors.

Exactly as stated on the bottle. Enjoyed that the saison was done lightly so that other flavors could shine. Easy to drink. Bottle

Piccolo Birrificio Bodega
Limpido color bruno-rubino con un velo accennato di schiuma beige. Vinosa, dolciastra, leggermente alcolica al naso con sentori di frutta passita; gusto dolce, rotondo, debolmente oleoso con note candite e quasi sciroppate. Finale acidulo, mediamente persistente e con una punta di amaro. Piacevole ma non memorabile.

Fizzy brew, medium brown body, with a completely disappearing head. Sweet and salty in the mouth, vinous character as expected, but surprisingly sour. Medium to light mouthfeel. Rather nice finish. Alcohol is well hidden. Not quite the usual dark, warm and deep barley wine. Reminescent of a sour ale.

courtesy of fiulijn - cloudy ruby-brown beer with no foam left; fairly woody aroma with notes of sour cherries; vinous; surprisingly moderate malt backbone for its alcohol content, gently sour and light dry; very fruity woody finish with notes of marzipan and cherries - a pleasant beer

A very interesting beer, infused with absinthe. Smell it, a bit of mintyness in the smell, some eucalyptus in the taste. Was expecting a bit more perhaps. Had on tap at La Trappe. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft. A little tough to rate because I've never had absinthe on its own. Pours a hazy gold with a huge white head. Aroma is fruity and a little woody. Taste more or less follows suit. Apparently the wordiness is absinthe? Solid citrus notes interspersed. Excellent dry crisp mouthfeel that disappears quickly. On its own merits quite good.

At Bad Apple. Very interesting beer, the missus loved it, I’m not so sure yet. Grassy, apple-y, crisp, dry finish. Pale mildly cloudy white/yellow. Another flavor that I can’t place, must be the absinthe? Serving: Tap

Dark amber color, hazy, with small creamy head disappearing quickly. Aroma of wood, lightly vinous, and fruity. Still carbonated in the mouth, the body is thin, the mouthfeel light; moderate malt flavor with elegant wine notes, light fruitiness, a touch of spirit; correct bitterness; light residual sweetness.
It suffers from the light body combined with the high carbonation, the final dryness, but it’s quite pleasant overall. Not impressive though.

On tap at Alla Spina with Shin Tommy before helping Devin move. Pours turbid, hazy raw honey gold with a fat, sticky, tightly-bubbled white head. Aroma of pears, ripe Granny Smith apple, peaches, freshly-picked lavender, and some odd tea, grass, and spring-air notes. Aroma is a fucking knockout. Taste is sour gummy worms, peaches, tart pear, and just a subtle hint of fresh apple juice. This tastes overwhelmingly like the skins of apples and pears with a dose of peach/apricot stone fruit with a touch of funk. Ever-so-slightly sour and beautifully balanced. This beer is fantastic and I would drink it all night if I could. Holy shit. (Not really any traces of absinthe, but that really does not matter.) ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours a hazy yellow with thick white head. Has a wheat and lemon aroma with some hints of spices. A sweet, wheaty and citrus flavor like a beligan styled ale. Some spices in there as well. Smooth finish.

Bottle from a trade. Pours a cloudy orange color with a large white head. A bit really sour nose, some floral elements. The flavor is mellow, flowers, cookie dough, big powerful spices including juniper.

Deep gold, hazy, white head. Aroma of grainy pilsner malt, corriander, an earthy spicy note. Flavor exhibits much more juniper than aroma, chinotto peel shows through also, herbal notes, more earthy spice, grainy finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pizzeria Paradiso, Dupont tap ($10): Pours hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is lemony citrus with some spice. Taste is much the same. Pretty light. Some minor complexity, but not in a particularly impressive way. Easy to drink, but in a way that should barely be a point for it.

Bottle. Poured clear yellow color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with fair lacing. Moderate spice green and yeast aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium spice sweet flavor with a medium spice finish of moderated duration. Refreshing complex beer.

Hazy peach gold pour with a 2 finger, soapy, bright white head. Very fruity aroma, lots of lemon, some stone fruit and white grape, wheat, flroal notes and an acidic undertone. Flavor is also very lemony, also lots of wheat, floury grain, floral notes, berry scented glycerine soap, finishes with a fermented citrus juice flavor that lasts a long time. Light to medium body, dry, but oily feel and light carbonation with a slightly chalky finish. I didn’t really enjoy this at all, tastes like spontaeously fermented lemonade + possibly decent Saison Radler. It all comes out wrong. It does look decent and if I really concentrated on the mouthfeel instead of the flavor, the mouthfeel wasn’t too bad either.

On tap. Hazy yellow pour with a white head. Aroma is lightly hopped, lemony, citrusy, a touch of biscuit or cracker. Flavor is effervescent, prickly, grassy and dry. Interesting beer. Refreshing.

Draft at Alla Spina. Pours a hazy orange body with white lacing. Aroma is very faint overall - smells like a tamed belgian ale. Mouthfeel is medium to light with notes of wheat, citrus, lemon and spice. In no way was this sour, tasted more like a refined witbier or wheat ale.

Hazy deep amber beer, tidy cream coloured head. Slightly lactose nose. Dry and crispy palate. Fairly sour but not a wince inducer! Nice mixed sour dried fruits. Woody dryness. A little bitterness. Dry finish. Not bad at all!

Medium to light body, light tartness, spice and metallic finish.

Couldn’t pass up on this one. The body poured a murky yellow with an impressive billowy head. Aromas were full of yeast, leaves, hops and fresh bread. The taste was yeasty as well, but with some light grassy notes all about. I love my absinthe, but it’s just not here. Undertones of old hops and citrus fruit blend well with mellow spices. Very good BUT... how much is needed before I start hallucinating?

Bottle. Pours clear gold with white head. Gusher. Nose/taste of dry nuts, dusty grain, grape, sweet malt and hints of dried fruit. Finishes very dry. There is one flavor I can’t quite place, which I am guessing is the absinthe. Medium body.

05/05/2012 Brasserie 4:20, bottle shared by Mario (thanks tabernae!). Rossa rubino, bellissima, viva e intensa, appena torbida, schiuma bianco sporca, poco abbondante. Naso fantastico, note di legno, ciliegia, vaniglia, mentuccia. In bocca è magnificamente equilibrata, appena dolciastra, con un bell’acido deciso, un tocco legnoso, un finale astringente, secco e pulito. Corpo medio, carbonazione soft. Magnifica sour ale.
