6.6/10 โ€” Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a murky orange color, somewhat brown, but not really. Fingerโ€™s worth of white foamy head sat atop and fell off at a decent pace. Mild stringy lace.
The aroma had a floral hoppy output gracing some notes of lemon, banana, vanilla, raisin, and some woody to earthy dry/ sort of dustiness.
The flavor was definitely pretty dry rubbing against the malty sweetness of the aromas. Dusty sort of earthy aftertaste and a clingy sort of dry leathery/grainy finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Sturdy carbonation. ABV felt fine.
Overall, I can see it as a Belgian pale ale, and possibly one to come back to.

2004 Draught. Moderately to heavily hazy. A warm orange with red tinges, slightly pale around the edges. Small white head, mostly disippating. Aroma has plenty of alpha hops, light belgian yeast. A light hint of toasty malt in the background, provides decent balance, but the hops are amazingly high in alpha content (cascades) and turns this in to a hybrid of an american pale and a belgian pale. Interesting, but Iโ€™m not sold yet, could use some more malt and yeast.
