Mar 15, 2009 Growler, courtesy dchmela. Pours a crystal clear gold color, with a small white head. Smells of some crisp grain, subtle hops, and dark sweet fruits, and spice. the flavor is a little more malty than the nose led me to believe. Very easy to drink, but not the most flavorful belgian ale Ive ever had. possibly could have used a littl more carbonation and candy sugar, as it needed a bit of a kick. Still decent though.

Mar 15, 2009 Growler from my buddy Joe. Clear golden pour with a foamy white head. Belgian style yeast ester, bitter orange peel aroma. Smooth malt body, some spices, grass and Belgian yeast taste. Nice lighter style ale, great for mowing the lawn.

Mar 8, 2009 Mostly transparent, straw-yellow pour has a frothy foam head. Nose is grassy and fruity with nice characteristic Belgian notes. Palate is more than medium-heavy with a nice creaminess. Flavor is very enjoyable with a pronounced orange/pear quality that also has nice herbal tones and a slightly sweet finish. I hadn’t had a basic Belgian ale like this in a while and really enjoyed it. Captain Lawrence made an exceptional brew from a fairly standard style.

Feb 22, 2009 On tap at brewery. Features a gorgeous aroma of fresh black espresso and bittersweet chocolate. Flavor is definitely espresso-centric, but with some mocha and sweet malt for balance. Palate is soft, and average in thickness.

Feb 9, 2009 Mini-growler. Aroma first hints at softer and sweet yeast esters. Some light fruit notes: banana peel and tart green apple skin. Quiet malt hiding underneath the predominantly yeasty aroma. Some dried grass and cut flower hop aromas in the background. Coriander and other vague spices emerge as the beer warms. Pours a thick, hazed dark gold with a frothy bright white head. Delicate and soft on the tongue. Silken and velvety mouth feel. Doughy malt and yeast phenols being the most dominant flavors. Plenty spicy and plenty fruity as well. Very drinkable with a long, grassy and slightly sweet finish. Nice. Thanks Larry!
