I sampled this at the Craft Ale House from a bottle. The big party at the back of the room was excellent enough to allow me to sample this. It usually pays off to make new friends, especially when it comes to beer and good conversation. This Belgian ale poured a hazy and cloudy dark golden color with a huge off-white head. There wasn’t a whole lot of lacing left around the glass, though. The nose was a bit spicy, with some grass and bread tone. The flavors were extremely smooth and well-balanced, with hints of citrus, yeast, grains, coriander, wood and nuts. The finish had just a touch of a spicy character to it. I wouldn’t mind having a full bottle of this sometime.

750ml Bottle: Aroma of yeast, slight citrus, and bready malts. Poured yellow/gold in color with a medium-sized, fizzy, loose, off-white head that only lasted around the edges. Cloudy. Sparkling. Full of medium-sized particles throughout. Flavor is lightly sweet and and slightly bitter. Tastes of yeast, wheat, , slight pale malts, slight spices, slight to light alcohol, slight nuts, and a hint of caramel. Medium body. Thinish, oily texture. Soft carbonation. Caramel, yeast, and slight alcohol finish.

Bottle. First beer I’m giving a 5 in appearance because of the bottle and its little flying goat. Is that what Netebuk means? Regardless... Aroma of fruit-flavored marshmallows, anise, cardamom(?), flowery/herbal notes (seemingly largely from hops), all in all very interesting spicy/herb profile. Flavor has some general light fruitiness with lots more of those flowers and herbs with some marmalade in the finish. All in all interesting and good stuff.

What a cute bottle! Pours a clear light orange with a small white head. Aroma of apples, pears, bready malt, and yeast. Flavor is similar with lots of light fruits and a spicy kick in the finish. Very pleasant, smooth, and easy drinking. Great Belgian Ale. 7/4/8/4/14 (3.7/5)

750 bottle. Pours turbid deep gold with off-white head. Nose is floral spicy, citrus, with a yeasty, malty, floral flavor, with finishing orangy, peppery, and hop notes. Again, not very complex, and not balanced. Still, the best of the 3 Brew Crotch beers I sampled from Craft Ale.
