Wild in character, a complex ale with dried fruit and clove aromas, and a satisfying dry finish. Inspired by great Trappist ales, our complex Belgian Style Pale Ale is fermented with the wild yeast Brettanomyces. Matilda pours a golden sunrise color with dried fruit and clove aromas, a spicy yeast flavor, and a satisfying dry finish.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy pale amber with a fluffy white head. Aroma is yeast, caramel, spice, and coriander. Taste follows nose with faint notes of funk, plums and bubblegum. Finish is a little on the dry side. Very mild bitterness. It’s different, but nice. Pleasant drinking.

Tap sample from BeerTemple in Amsterdsm. Clear bright orange with a fine beige head. Smells like honey, eldrflowers and a bit of farmhouse funk. Tastes like brett, honey and bitter medicine.

Sampled from tap at ’Beertemple’. Golden amber with a tan to white head. Sweetish, fruity-malty aroma of peach, honey, vanilla and some cane sugar. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity taste of honey, peach, vanilla and cane sugar, followed by a medium long, slightly bitter, moderately yeasty finish. Medium body, slightly oily mouthfeel, flat. Decent.

Draught @ ORD. Thought I would have had this a long time ago. Amber, slight haze and no head. Estery, sticky sweet, has some vague fruit, plastic phenols and just isn’t an exciting brew.
