Tulip at the brewery - I really appreciate the simplicity of the approach here - one malt (belgian pils), one hop (saaz), yeast, and candi sugar - it really allows the.yeast to be showcased well, and creates a subtle elegance that perhaps not everyone will appreciate, as they want a certain bludgeoning of the palate in such a strong beer - lightly hazy gold - nose has esters of pear and apple, white grape, grassy saaz, floral hoppiness, slight.minerality, very mild phenolics - flavor is.lovely, delicate, dry, and herbal/floral - nice to see in an american-made strong belgian - a nice saaz bite and moderate mineral create a nice dry spiciness - white pepper phenolics - pear esters, a touch of banana, but nothing strong - some sav blanc character - herbal finish - floral notes in the nose are a little soapy, but otherwise well-executed.
