Golden ale with a thin white head. Lightly spiced aroma ewith notes of orange peels. In mouth, sweet phenolics with band aid notes. Im not lucky! Medium bodied. At EBF 2006.

Draught tulip at the brewpub, 12/18/05. Unfiltered auburn-amber with some light fiery orange tints and a neat and well-retained beige head that provides light lacing. Aroma of light esters, but very soft and well-integrated with the malts. Light clove and other spicy esters and a creamy, supportive, candyish-like maltiness (toffee, brown sugar, caramel). Clean and quite strong, like a Delirium or Affligem Noel, though not as sweet as the former or yeasty as the latter. Flavor has the same light spiciness to it, touches of hops and light pale malt sugars. But also moderately sweet caramel-toffee and light raisins. Delicate texture somehow conveys a medium-full substantial body, yet a clean, crisp and bright flavor profile. Tight carbonation as well. Alcohol is no where to be found at the start, though there is a touch of warming on the end, which does become a little (overly?) noticeable by the end of the glass. Little pinches of clove, vanilla and cinnamon dance around the palate in wonderful harmony with the creamy malts. Bravo to the new brewer, the yeast is done very tastefully and very authentically.
