Score

7.28

ABV: 8.8%

IBU: -

Ticks: 7

This strong Belgian style ale is made with hand-toasted Pilsner malt, grains of paradise, and fresh picked dandelion greens. Although dandelions are considered a nuisaPaardebloem, Dutch for "dandelion," is a 9.2% ABV chardonnay barrel aged Belgian style ale brewed with toasted pilsner malt, peaches, and grains of paradise, and inoculated with Brettanomyces. Its staple ingredient, from which it gets its name, is dandelion greens! These greens are used for bittering in place of hops. The lack of hop character allows the more subtle ingredients to shine through. Get it before it's gone!

Big thanks to douglas88 for this one. Waxed 75cl bottle pours opaque copper – gold with off white head. The aroma is smooth hay, lemon like acidity, spicy yeast, firm herbal notes and some saltiness. The taste comes across as wheat, lemon and salt to start with and then it gets herbally and apple like to midway. It ends with apple notes and some tartness. The tartness helps to create a somewhat dry finish.

750ml bottle at RedRock
Appearance: Pours a cloudy golden with a same white head that dissipates quickly
Aroma: Sour aroma, citrus and grapefruit
Taste: Bitter at first then it is citrus, grapefruit and yeast. Finishes with a mild sour taste
This is a very different beer that is real good. Very well balanced with no real overpowering flavor. Is is almost like a dry wine with a sour taste. I enjoyed drinking it and hope someday that we can get it to go, instead of just available at the brewpub.
