Hoppy Belgian-Style Ale

Mischief is a hoppy Belgian-style golden strong ale. This wickedly good golden ale is fiendishly dry-hopped with American hops to add a layer of complexity and mystery to its fruity, dry Belgian-style character. Citrus and resin diabolically combine with ripe melon, pear and slight peppery spice in a precariously effervescent mixture. Enjoy it, but you’ll want to keep an eye out.

4th Sep 2017: Shrewsbury Bottle Share in Chez Sophie. 750ml bottle supplied by me, bought in Jan 2017 somewhere in California and brought home to share with friends (five of us on the night). Small white head on a misty golden body. The aroma had some spice and citrus leanings, taste a little sweeter than the nose indicated, again with a spicy content alongside a yeasty trace or two in the flavours. Liked it.

75cl bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Sep 17. Pours a misty gold, small white head. Aroma is spicy sweet. Taste is full-flavoured spicy sweet Belgian ale territory, soft and fruity. Decent clobber.

Prawdopodobnie jest to rocznik 2015. Ciezko to zdiagnozowac. Wiadomo piwo z US wiec pewnych danych brak czesto, ale zawartosc alk na szczescie jest. Piwo ma ladna piane szybko rosnaca, ladna ale srednio trwala. Zapach cytrusowy troch owocow pomaranczowych, brzoskwinie zwlaszca. Jest poczatkowo zlociste z babelkami, musujace w smaku lekka slodyczy, troche suszonej moreli, mirabelki. Chmielowa goryczka na poczatku mocno sie wyczuwa ale nie jest to trwaly efekt, dosc szybko ulatuje, Po jakims czasie jest juz srednio goryczkowo i srednio wytrawnie. Jak na piwo z US i na te ocene i na ich zamilowanie do chmielenia to wypada na czworke ze sporym minusem.

Aus der Flasche im 2017-08 getrunken. Ein klassisches blondes belgisches Starkbier was alle seine Stärken ausspielen kann. Ohne Schnörkel einfach Genießen.

Bottle. Pours cloudy golden with a big super stable head. Aroma is light tropical fruit, light farmhouse, phenols, a bit of booze. Body is medium to heavy, quite sweet and decently bitter, with a lively carbonation and strong flavours typical for Belgian ales: Phenols, minerals, earthy, farmhouse, a hint of funk. Palate is long, warming and a bit boozy. Good, but unusual.

Golden colour with light haze and soapy head. Aroma and flavour have plenty of caramelised sweet fruits like peaches and oranges. In the aftertaste there is a spicy, peppery, yeastiness.

Pour is a hazy golden with a huge white head. Aroma is estery and fruity with some banana and clove like a German hefe. Flavor is a big honeydew with accompanying sweetness. I also get some yeast esters and clove. Not as light and effervescent as I thought it would this has more of a heavy full mouthfeel. The sweetness is gone after the swallow leaving some grainy malt. Decent but not great, a bit too heavy for the style.

Golden color with a frothy white head with good retention and nice lacing. Aroma is light yeasty with some sweet malty hints. Flavor is light sweet, notes of marzipan. Spiced final with light sweetness and yeasty hints.
