333 C&C from Belmont Station. Pours hazy orange gold with a transient white head. Principal aroma is sharpish light pitted fruit.Med body or better. Flavor is Belgian yeast/spice, but the banana ester is absent. Clove is part of this. Kandi is persistent in a low way. I would swear that apricot is a principal fruit component. Some light earthiness. A little phenol. It’s definitely dry, but the kandi is detectable in the finish. All in all it is a beautiful thing.

333 C&C from Belmont Station. Pours a sort of coppered gold with very little head. Aroma is somewhat mucky - like lots of herb. But it’s a good odor. Med body at least. Flavor is almost honey with demonstrative spice and herb. It arguably is a wit, well of course it is, but it’s so pleasing to my palate that I think it is one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Truly. It, like so many other MOAs is a great beer.

bottle - Murky pour with a really big off-white head and an aroma of floral and citrus hops. It’s medium bodied with a moderately strong floral hop flavor. The finish is off-putting to me. I’m getting a bandage character that worsens as the beer warms. Not good. This beer had a promising start but didn’t finish well.

Bottle @ Dan’s house. Pulled off the cage and the cork shot off like a MOTHER FUCKER. Holy shit this had a big carbonated head. Black appearance with a brown head. A bit funky, fruity, lightly vinous, a bit roasty aroma. Dark fruity, grape, somewhat vinous, roasty dark chocolate malty flavor with infection notes. Fuck man.
