Brewed to honor the brave souls who kept our brewpub open in the early 90’s while wrecking balls tore down the mall around us. Dry and smooth, with a grassy, citrus aroma and honey malt middle.

Bottle, 7.2%. Weak hop aroma, slightly veggy. Clear yellow colour. Small stable white head. The flavour is haylike, very slightly fruity. Hint of bitterness and yeast in the finish. Much cleaner than most Belgian ales. But not bad at that.

1lb 6oz bottle. Pours golden with very thin head. Some bubbles and suspended yeast. The nose has some sweetcorn and pale malt. There is also some sweetness and banana yoghurt. The taste has more sweetcorn with some pale malt and toffee. The palate is quite big in structure, very creamy in texture and fairly clean and lengthy finish on the end, though not quite 100% refreshing . Overall, great beer that just gets better!

Bottle @ Odense Tasting, June 2011. Pours cloudy yellow with a small creamy white head. Yeast and fruit. Quite sweet. Sweet flavor with a note of alcohol and yeast - pepper. Medium bodied. A bit boring. Decent.
