Golden colored, crisp, high alcohol Belgian-style ale. Simple ingredients lead to a very complex beer in this case. Northwest two-row malt is mashed without the addition of specialty malts for a light, golden color. The Wort is lightly hopped in the kettle for minimum bitterness and Willamette Hops give the beer a subtle, hop flavor and aroma. Light sugars are also added during the boil in the Belgian tradition to achieve the desired higher alcohol percentage and unique fermentation flavor by-products. We ferment this beer with a classic Belgian yeast strain which results in a crisp, golden champagne-like ale with perceivable fruity overtones and warming alcohol undertones.

Cloudy beigey amber colour. Nice loose head. Candyish with sugar and bland plasticy pale malt. Decent finish because the alcohol cuts through the cloying a bit.

Bottle/8% on label. Spicy aroma of clove, citrus and, say, banana. Coppery amber color with a decent white head that didn’t stay tall. Medium bodied. Bit of carbonation bite. Almost creamy. Starts with strong candy, caramel sweetness, offset by spice, followed by a bit of alcohol warmth, and light pepper and a small hop bitter in the finish. Not really pulling out the flavors suggested in the aroma. Seems to be a hint of phenol. Good. Especially at the price!

Bottle: Pours a golden/orange, lots of bubbles, medium white head. Nose is fruity and of yeast, some floral notes. Taste is a crisp, fruitiness, citrus, and with lots of spice. Very assertive spiciness. Warming alcohol notes in the finish.

Bottle Pours a hazy orange amber with very little head but enough carbonation to maintain some nice fine lacing. Aroma is the typical belgian spice but more subdued or faint. Some app[le, pear add some fruit tones. Flavors are consistant, but a stronger spiciness than I expected. Seems very well balanced and full flavored. Little hop bitterness and a tasty sweet malt flavor as well. Feel is light and lively carbonation. Aftertaste is sweet woody flavor. A bit under rated for it’s style I think.
