A hazed amber ale with a thin lacing white head. Very pungeant hoppy aroma, with citrus and light apple notes. a bit of catnip. In mouth, a classy IPA with intense hops, grapefruit, very resiliant and sustained. Medium to rich bodied. Tasted at brewpub, August 3 2008.

A generous copper ale with a thick light moka head. One word...buttery! Biscuitty malt also come through with strawberry. In mouth, a very fruity scotch ale, with Graham cracker and berries in finale. Some maple notes in residual. A bit thin considering its 9%. On tap at Brouhaha.

Sampled from a draught tulip at Vices et Versa on 9/29/07
Medium amount of white head is staunchly held above a lightly-hazed, light peach-golden body. Light lacing ensues.
Tremendously interesting yeast here! I don’t know what they used or how they fermented it, but it’s full of lovely esters and strong phenols, without being tacky or dominant (ie. it’s not a banana/clove bomb, nor do the phenols over-dry the nose/flavor). Gives the effect of it being spiced with a variety of things, though I highly doubt there are any spices in it. Notes of light vanilla, ginger, white pepper, tangerine juice and a tasteful amount of nectarine/peach esters fill this vivid aroma, with soft, well-attenuated pale malt sugars lying gently behind. Terrifically balanced and with no sign of alcohol or flaw, I don’t see any way for the flavor to not be as good.
And I’m not disappointed as a tight carbonation spreads spicy esters and light hops all over the palate, only to further dust it with a layer of honey-vanilla-like maltiness and finally end on a snappy, citric-like acidity, with soft hints of bubble gum and juicy fruits to add complexity. Light alcohol warmth helps mitigate the effect of the sweet malts/esters and all the while, a distinctly Belgian yeast presence is fresh and endearing, adding depth to the flavor and authenticity to the style. Really nice stuff, not aggressive with the alcohol or perfuminess, nor with the yeast character, but neither is it mellow in any category. Well attenuated, preventing any syrupiness that some tripels succumb to. Fantastic!
Looking at earlier ratings, perhaps the beer has continued to dry out, as I really wasnt put off by any sweetness that earlier raters mention.
