Well laced white head on an amber body. Nose is fresh and edgy, with mixed fruit, banana, other fruit esters and sweet malt. Impressive freshness and definition to tastes. Fruit salad, Belgian yeast with banana accents, a light array of spice and touches of booze and floral hops. Nice

interesting beer. kinda like a hybrid between a tripel, and a saiosn. lots of dry crisp hops, with yeasty notes. Flavor is full of peppery alcohol, and some more hops. nic stuff.

Draft: Poured a light hazy beige color ale with a medium size foamy head with light lacing notes. Aroma is nice complex mix between light fruity ester with indigenous yeast and some semi-sweet Belgian style malt notes. Taste is a nice mix between some lightly funky yeast with notes of fruity ester and a semi-sweet solid Belgian-style malt backbone with an herbal finish. Body is maybe a bit light for style with no apparent alcohol. Definitely one of the best beer I tried while I was there.

An amber ale with a lacing thick white head. Sweet wheat and a light bubble gum in aroma, with spices and alcohol. In mouth, a ricjh spiced rye beer with lingering grains and light alcohol. Rye bread and pepper notes, with warming alcohol in final. Riche bodied. On tap at the brewery, Nov. 3 2007.

Draught tulip at the brewery on 9/28/07
One-finger off-white head slowly fades to cover, leaving sloppy lacing. Brilliant orange-golden body has a slight chill haze.
Sweet doughy malts show traces of light caramel and sugary cookie dough, but are dried up by a moderate amount of citrus acidity, peppery phenols and light alcohol warmth. Grassy/leafy hops exude a fair amount of bitterness and plentiful aromatics, very much on par with Moinette Blonde. The yeast is Dupont, of course, and it’s clean and articulately represented. Some dry doughiness, acidity and light alcohol dull the aroma, over time, but it’s still very well-done.
Sweet and yet very dry on the end, though more on account of the malt breadiness and alcohol warmth than the actual attenuation. Not that it’s syrupy or overly-sweet, but it just seems a bit too much after having the elegant, mid-gravity saison clone before it. I honestly don’t notice the rye, though perhaps it accounts for some of the malt dryness/breadiness. Caramel, oranges and moderate hop bitterness collect on the finish, with spicy hop notes (or is that the rye?) and a supple body, thanks to the malting. Low carbonation and its draught nature is really the heart of the problem here, not any actual problems with brewing. With a beer of such strength, it’s almost mandatory that it has tight, natural carbonation to help smooth out the rough edges and control the sweetness. Very good, nonetheless.
