Very rich malt complex on this one makes it a very drinkable IPA. Some mash peel aroma as well. Hazy golden pour with good head and lacing. Light bitter finish with note of tang. Tap at The Sovereign.

Bottle from Grocery Outlet. Cheap. This one is probably past it’s prime, but you wouldn’t know it as it still presents itself really well. It pours an orange gold color with a tall, fizzy off white head. The aroma has toasted malt, some fruity plum and banana with hints of clove spiciness. Almost seems like a hefeweizen with more complex fruity esters. The flavor has lots of dried fruit and clove. Pear, plum, a little baked apple, cinnamon and clove. It has a dense, yet frothy mouthfeel. High carbonation. Moderate earthy bitterness. Pretty nice. Very solid.

Small if persistent whitish rim over hazy, UFO-filled reddish-amber beer. Lavender and other ’Christmassy’ spices (cinnamon, clove,..) Spices. Spices. And more spices. Malts in the background. Medium bodied, good carbonation. Sticky spices keep harassing the oral cavity. GUYS! Follow some brewing courses @ your Belgian brethern!! Moderation is a Christian value, no?

Pours a slightly hazy pale straw into a pilsner. Bright white soapy head with medium retention recedes leaving trailing spiders. Cracker, sourdough, and wet hay aromas. Medium bodied with sourdough and grass upfront turning to bitter earth in the lasting finish.

Bottle at SAVOR poured by Father Isaac Keeley, the Brewery Director. Poured a black color with a brown head. Aroma was lots of roasted malts, very mild coffee roast. BItter dark chocolate, earthy and herbal hop notes. Dark fruit is hiding in there, with a very tinge of tobacco smoke.
