Commercial Description:
This Belgian Golden Strong ale is a recipe developed by Brian Richards of MI who won the B.O.S.S. homebrew competition and was able to brew his beer here. His beer was named Biere Bella after his daughter, and we are using it for our anniversary beer. It begins with a fruity aroma from the unique Belgian yeast. The medium-bodied maltiness is balanced with a slight spicy flavor and a hint of ripe fruits or honey in the background. The finish is clean and dry. There is a bit of alcohol warmth at the end, but please use caution as it is pretty smooth and drinkable. $4.50/snifter

tap at Flossmoor for Collabo Evil release.... pours a cloudy orange, almost hefe like, with a thin circular film of white head..... aroma was syrupy/sugary with a pineapple and banana resembling sweetness.... semi-cloyingly sweet flavor profite almost like a wheat wine. somewhat of an off-bitterness in the finish. a little heat comes through as well.

On tap at the brewery. Very cloudy yellow with white head. Aroma is yeasty, spicey and wheaty. Flavor is wheat, spice, yeast, alc and banana. Medium body with light carbonation. Way too much alc for me and a wierd choice for an anniversey beer, but here’s to another guys!

Draft at The Map Room. Poured a hazy medium orange color. The head was short, bubbly, white, and reduced quickly to a lasting film. Attractive aroma of clove, pastry, and citrus (lemon greater than orange). Medium bodied and slightly sweet with noticeable alcohol warmth. Tasted of citrus liqueur, clove, a splash of sparkling white wine, and a hint of vanilla. Nice.

Snifter served at the brewpub. Poured a fairly clear,light gold hue with a foamy, white clingy head which reduced down to a small 1/2" ring of lace. Besides the light citrus and spice aroma, detected a little nuttiness. Light malt sweetness & hop dryness balanced with a little yeasty/banana flavor. Creamy mouthfeel throughout. Not overly alcoholic taste for 9% abv., but presence was felt. Pleasant!

On tap at Flossmoor Station and served in a snifter. This beer poured a cloudy golden hue with a one-finger thick head of off-white foam. Decent retention with just a touch of lace. The aroma of the beer was made up of lemon zest, orange peel, and a light yeast spiciness. The flavor consisted of citrus, bread, spicy yeast, and a moderate alcohol warmth. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with mild carbonation. Decent and drinkable, but lacking in complexity.

I had this at the Mug Club tapping and on subsequent visits. It pours a cloudy dark straw body with a short head. The nose is yeasty and has cherries, lemon, alcohol, warm spices, and an underlying pale malt sweetness. The flavor has a light funky sourness to it and a touch more alcohol. Later visits added some soft bananas to the mix. Not bad.

On tap at Flossmoor Station. Pours nice light golden in color with billowing white head. Aroma is of grains and yeast. Flavor is on light side with light malts, grain and yeast. This is a nice refreshing ale with some citrus. On the light side for the styly but enjoyed quite a bit for the style.

On tap at the Station 7/10/08. Based upon the 10 and 11, I had pretty high expectations for this one. Pours a hazed yellow hay color with a white head. Yeasty citrus, grain, spice, herb, and a subtle funk. Lemons, yeast, Belgian spices in the flavor. Its a little overly sweet and definitely overly spicy. A bit odd of a beer that’s mediocre overall.
