Can to Belgian tulip.
Appearance: amber in color in the glass, two to maybe three finger white foamy head, moderate lace
Aroma: rye whiskey sort of blend with some Belgian malts, some grassy to earthy blend mildly underneath
Flavor: sweet with a lil bit of spiciness through the rye whiskey, subtle oakiness
Texture: medium bodied with a gentle smoothness, lingering rye whiskey sort of finish
Overall: cool idea for a Belgian styled golden ale with the rye whiskey barrel but part of me thinks the execution could be changed a lil' bit more to make this a superb one. Still, I believe I could come back to this.

Can at home. Golden orange pour. Nose is quite funky and some citrus. Tastes funky at first but mellows. Oranges, yeast, candy, peppery, sourdough. Medium bodied and some sweetness.

16 oz can. Dated: 10-28-2021. A very near clear dark golden color. Aroma is oak and very mild rye whiskey. Belgian yeast is here but it’s kind of over powered by oaky, buttery flavors. Nice effort.
