Amber ale made for a local festival, bottle shared by tderoeck. Very thick, foamy, cobweb-lacing, moussy, egg-white head on a clear coppery amber coloured beer. Aroma of rusk, gingerbread, dried orange peel, liquorice candy, coriander seed, vaguer notes of ladies' perfume, cloves, peanuts and dried banana. Fruity onset, banana, apricot and red apple, sweetish with a sourish edge, medium carbonated, supple and bit resinous mouthfeel; cleanish peanutty, caramelly and bit toasty maltiness ending in a long, quite hoppy, peppery, drying bitter finish blending well with the toasty aspect; some caramelly malt sweetness (and smoothness) lingers. Decent Belgian style amber, a 'spéciale belge' of sorts, but hoppier and cleaner than average and in that sense with a kind of English twist to it.
