Artisan Ale

Sunset Grill: pours pale yellow with a white head. Light flowers, slight sugar, and mineral. Taste is very lightly bitter. Kind of watery and really really light. Meh.

on tap-white-hazy pale yellow. A-spice, yeast, lt malt/grain. T-spice hops, yeast, a thin lt malt-cracker, some zest.

22 oz. bottle purchased at Downtown Discount Beverage for $6.99. Pale yellow with a hazy complexion. Belgian yeast, pilsner malt and lemon peel. Nice.

The flavor is yeasty with the above mentioned sweet malt, lemon peel and a hint of zesty spice ( but really subtle). The mouthfeel is light with a grainy texture. At 4% you can drink this all afternoon and not ever feel a buzz. If you want a Belgian ale just for flavor and enjoyment this is it. Nicely crafted.

Bottle from North End Suprette. Pours a cloudy light straw color with a huge bubbly white head that slowly recedes leaving bits of meringue in its wake. Floral hops, bready pilsner, hints of lemon and pepper, yup this one smells like a light summer brew. The flavor is light and refreshing. Hints of lemon mixed with a bit of sweet bread some spicy peppery flavors come in to offset before a fairly dry finish. Light body with a moderate to high level of carbonation and a sweet watery mouthfeel. Nice light easy to drink Belgian style ale. This would be a great beer if summer ever decided to get here.
