Amber Ale

Bottle. Cloudy amber beer with a strong head. The aroma is yeasty and lightly spiced, and the flavour is bitter and yeasty with a malty spiced edge. Overall a reasonable spiced and bitter beer but it does disappoint.

Smell is sweet and malty with dark bread, orange peal, moist wood, wet grass, red apples, cookie dough, compost, alcohol, rotten peaches, overripe papaya, overripe pineapple, pine, tulips, moist soil and hints of glue.

On tap @ Beer Temple. Clear amber color. Off white head. Aroma’s: grainy, caramel, some red fruit (mostly caramel retronasal). Flavor is caramel-ish, but hardly sweet. Light body. Finishes medium bitter with some caramel & red fruit. Maybe not very original, but clean & tasty.

Draft @ Mikkeller bar, Copenhagen. Pours a slightly hazy pale amber orange color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty weak hoppy aroma. Fruity malty weak hoppy caramel flavor. Hasa fruity malty hoppy caramel finish.

From tap at MikkellerBar. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Smooth fruity,yeasty and mellow light hoppy aroma. Mellow malty and light bitter. Seems a bit flat/tired on the hops and malt profile. Light peppery and dry finish.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, no bottle date. Pours slightly hazy reddish roange color with a small 1-2 finger fairly dense off white head with decent retention that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Slight lacing on the glass as you drink. Aromas of big orange, banana, biscuit, clove, pear, toasted malt, caramel, apple, and yeast spiciness. Nice and well balanced aromas here; was not expecting this to be a Belgian style amber at all. Taste of banana, orange, caramel, biscuit, clove, pear, pepper, toasted malt, and herbal yeast spices. Light spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, apple, banana, toasted malt, and yeast spices on the finish for a bit. Medium carbonation and body; with a slightly silky mouthfeel. Very easy and smooth to drink. Alcohol is well hidden with hardly any warming after the finish. Overall this is a very nice and enjoyable Belgian amber ale, with good complexity. Plenty of flavor and very smooth drinking. I would get this again.

Draft @ Delirium Hoppy Loft, Brussels. Ambrée, col léger blanc. Bière légèrement houblonnée et citronnée rappelant ce côté feuille de thé, levure en fin de bouche, houblon fruité et herbacé pour une amertume modérée, le malt ne reste que très discret. En bouche, un malt grillé sur une pointe de biscuité rajoute un profile qui balance l’ajout de houblon. Reste légère, mais manque un peu de caractère, comme par exemple un malt plus en avant..
