Horny Devil is our interpretation of a Belgian-style Golden Ale. Brewed with authentic Belgian ingredients including candi sugar and a Trappist yeast strain, its fruity and spicy aromas include notes of orange, banana, and peppercorns. Coriander seeds add refreshing citrus notes which meld seamlessly with the beer’s delicate malt. Horny Devil finishes with a lively carbonation and a refreshingly dry finish.

750 ml Bottle purchased mail order from South Bay in Imperial Beach, California. Pour is hazed golden yellow with a two inch slightly off white head. Nice settling on the pour. Head falls fast, with ok lacing. Aroma of spicy coriander, candi sugar yeastiness and some grainy earthiness. Taste is the sugary yeastiness, coriander, honey, raisins and only a faint amount of alcohol, which is well integrated. The finish has some hop bitterness as well. Tasty. Palate is medium, decent carbonation makes this pretty drinkable. Thanks for selling mail order, Joey, and sharing the AleSmith love around the country!
