Commercial Description:
A cross between a belgian wit and a pale ale..in essence, a toned-down Horny Devil.

On draft at Pizza Port. The description for Lil Devil on the Alesmith website is an apt one, "conceived as a ’little sister’ to our Famous Horny Devil Ale". This one is a rich amber-orange color with a moderate white head that leaves some lacing. Similar to the big sister with lots of belgian aroma and flavor - sweet maltiness, citrus, yeast, spice. This one doesn’t have nearly the alcohol kick, is milder in flavors, lighter bodied and a bit more tart. Another nice ale from Alesmith. How lucky am I to live in this town (San Diego)?

Tap @ Blue Palm. I thought this was quite nice indeed. It doesn’t look like much and isn’t too complex but it is refreshing and is the very definition of a ’cereal-ly’ beer. Nice round wheat, yeast and even a slight honey.

SDFOB ’08. Draft. Pours yellow orange. Coriander, Belgium yest flavors. Very light and refreshing for the alcohol content. Good beer.

Had on tap @ SD CBC Pavilion wall, pours medium gold pour with nice white head. Aroma blends the citrus and grassiness of a Wit with the maltiness and alcohol of a Strong golden. They advertised this as 6.66% at the brewery. Nice amount of coriander and orange in the flavor, but a little more malt and kick-ass than a Wit. I like this one very much~

Golden colour with a thick head. Coriander, bubblegum and florals on the nose. Spicy, firm malt and a bit of florals on the palate. Some icing sugar sweetness late. Slightly wet finish.

On tap @ the Ritual Tavern San Diego. A beautiful burnt orange pour with a good sized off white head that fizzed and left some good lacing. Banana, citrus, spice and yeast rounded out the nose. A great beer, been looking for this one for a long time.
