On tap at Coronado Brewery. Dark yellow in color. Hints of citrus and caramel. Very hoppy very bitter, very delicious, one of the bests at Coronado.

Draft at brewery, rating taken from notes. Amberish in color with a clear body. Sticky lace and almost non existant white head. Aroma of malt/caramel, citrus in orange and lime, and yeasty cobwebs. Has a light and fizzy carbonation with little tiny bubbles. Thin on the palate. Flavor is moderately bitter, moderately sweet, lightly acidic, and long in duration. Has a lasting bitter and slightly piny finish with lingering ctirus tartness balanced by some sweetness. Very interesting beer and a bit warming. Nice hoppiness with the yeasty fizzy character of some of the Belgians.

Clear golden orange with a small white fizzy head. Grapefruit and lime aroma. Thick sticky syrupy palate. Strong sweet refreshing citrus tastes: orange, grapefruit, lemon with a sweet hoppy finish. At 9% alcohol, this is still a very drinkable beer.

Golden; small head. Straw and hop aroma and flavor. Big, rich, biting, white pepper, yet very tasty. The Belgian yeast makes this IPA very tasting and interesting. Drank at brewery. This yeast was first used in their Limelite Wit, then the Belchin brown, and now the Hoppy Friar!

Cask. Hamilton’s. Complimented the sausage platter nicely. Hoppy, yet distinctly Belgian in flavor. Super cloudy. Can’t see though it. Almost like delicious hoppy sweet gravy. I love gravy and I love beer, so there’s no reason why I wouldn’t be crazy about this ale. Well, I am crazy about this ale. And sausages because beer and sausages go well with each other. Like coffee & smokes or ham & swiss. Some shit just works well together.
