Description: | It is really a Belgian ale that’s been hopped and dryhopped with continental European hops and re-fermented in the bottle with brettanomyces. It’s also got rock candy, which is a sort of a spin on the more traditional use of candi sugar. A peppery, spicy yeastiness from the Belgian influences works nicely with the hops to give impressions of savory herbs (think rosemary). While young, the Brett character remains subtle, only suggesting a bit of tartness. But this will grow considerably as the beer matures in the bottle. Caramel, butterscotch and orange marmalade also come to mind while sniffing this very alluring beer some may say. Others may say it has a cooling flavor like a mint chocolate girl scout cookie. On the palate, there is a firmly bitter character, with the grains actually coming through amidst the extremely earthy hop profile. An odd one indeed. 7.5% | |
