From our favorite Floridian brewery comes this Belgian-style dubbel. It’s rich and fruity, with some herbal flavors, and some funkiness thrown in for good measure. And, as always, somehow it’s reminiscent of it’s hometown of Tarpon Springs.

I know this brewery has a lot of variability when it comes to bottles, but I guess I got one of the good ones. I picked a bottle at the Wine & Cheese Place in St. Louis that was itching to have its cork popped. Turned out this was dated 2009 . The cork popped loudly but the beer did not gush out. Poured beautifully with a fiery orange, amber color. Head is medium large and long lasting. Aroma hits you with brett, wild and citrusy. Then there is fruity biscuit malt. Well attenuated with a sweet perception but no sugary mess about. Similar in flavor, easy drinking but full of flavor. For me, this was a bretty Biere de Garde. I loved it. Mouthfeel was good, not overly carbonated but felt strongly enough to fit in line with the rest of the beer. Could not pick out the adjuncts specifically but these beers always have a lot going on with them. When St. Somewhere is on they are really on. But 11 bucks is a large price to keep taking the chance.

Neat farmhouse starwberry aroma. Orange color, medium yellow head. Unripe strawberry and orange flavor. Harsh mouthfeel. Good amount of bret on the nose, but significantly less on the palate. Good beer, though.
