Four+ Monkshine

Brewed by Uinta Brewing Company
Style: Belgian Ale
Salt Lake City, Utah USA

This beer poured with almost no head, even though I used a glass that elicits lots of foam usually. Its a clear pour, no murkiness near the end, so it seems like a filtered product. There are small and sparse visible bubbles traveling throughout the beer. The aroma hits you strong with a sweet Belgian yeast and candy character followed by a hefty clove character. It is not subtle, it hits your nose and sticks around. A bit of a malted cereal character just sitting back there as well. Taste is candy sweetness with lots of esters in there. The esters are not distinct, some light banana, some light bubblegum, just a general ester character. Finishes of drier than expected, but not dry. A slight herbal character as well. A faint hop character is felt in the light bitterness at the back end to round it off. I can see why this beer gets such low ratings but this is my type of beer. In general I like the Belgian character and when it is a bit too sweet its still fine. Again, I like the right kind of overly sweet beer and a Belgian sweetness is alright by me.
12oz, bottled on 09/03/08, couldn’t tell it was that old, in a Duvel tulip glass.

Draught at Papago Brewing Co., Scottsdale, AZ
Deep blond color. It’s a simple one, with very light aroma, but the flavor has some of the Belgian spiciness, and correct bitterness.

12 oz. bottle - thanks riversideak; fuzzy pale yellow with trace white head; dry hay, some lemon, lots of wheat and sweetness; fizzy texture with mild sweet malt and wheat; simple and lacking much yeast flavor influence, but very drinkable for 7%

Clear amber color/ fleeting head. Big beef jerky spicy aromas. light/ medium body. Semi dry cardboard, nutty smoky flavors. seriously wtf

Small white head with fair retention and lace. Hazy white appearence. Nose of yeast, bananna and some buttery notes. Light body and a lightly spritzy carbonation. Light oilyness.
