PRIDE Belgian-style Strong Pale Ale is the smart, sexy, strong ’golden child’ of the series. Aged in chardonnay oak barrels and infused with Brettanomyces, Pride has much, much, too much to boast about.
PRIDE...It really isn’t you...it’s ME.

Many thanks to puzzl for sharing - hazy straw color, with a sticky lace - very herbal and minty aroma, with a spicy bite to it - quite dry, with some apparent phenolic flavor - some pale, biscuity malt, but it is mostly dry - light brett and some oak - herbs and grain - a wee bit of citrus fruitiness - pretty nice, but I’d like to try it once the brett has taken stronger hold.

Draught Very high, collapsing head over orange beer. Very fruity nose with orange peel and strawberry flavour; some fine spices, as laurel, but smelling already a bit "hot" in fermenting. Fruity with a bitter finish. Little mineral saltiness. Noble hops, not USA, some orange peel again. Can’t get the Bretts. Medium bodied, but very slick, a bit oily. Yes. Another Wh/y/labs/east offshoot. Still, it shows some character.

Shared by puzzl, nice one. The beer pours a thick golden color with a strong but small head. It’s very pretty looking, cannot see through the beer, its a bit of a muted gold, not shiny, color. It’s a very nice nuanced beer. Aroma is at first herbal, which I first though as "blah" but as I stayed with the beer other interesting aspects came out. I got a light brett, in the way of light dry pineapple. It worked nicely with the herbal yeasty character. Taste is again herbal but not as strong. It left a dry and lightly sweet aftertaste. It reminded me a bit of some Orval bottles I have come across. I would really like to see how one of these is doing with some time on it.
