Commercial Description:
Brewed to honor the brave souls who kept our brew pub open in the early 90’s while wrecking balls tore down the mall around us. Dry and smooth, with a grassy, citrus aroma and a honey malt middle. Brew House notes Style: Belgian Style Golden Ale Alcohol by Volume: 6.7% IBU’s: 45 Hops: Saaz, Chinook Malt: Pilzen Cellarman’s Notes. Demolition will remain fresh 180 days from the bottled on date. Unfiltered, so a light chill haze should be expected. Some yeast may settle in the bottom of the bottle, decant gently.

Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of wheat, fruit, yeast, and hops. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of fruit and dusty hops, leading to a dry straw finish.

Bottle. Pours clear dark gold with a thin but lacy white head. Spicy fruit nose. Medium body and carbonation. Sweet fruit and nuts taste, with a spicy/grassy finish. The bitterness of the finish doesn’t come thru until the very end when the sugar finally dissipates.

Nice hoppy taste without being too bitter. This would make for a great junkfood and ballgame beer - not terribly interesting but real easy to drink.

A cloudy golden stong ale with a wee white head, a very hoppy bouquet, and a slightly bitter finish. This 2007 model was very pleasing, with a nice clean taste.

Bottle from 2006. Pours a hazy orange with an off white head. Pine and citrus hops aroma. Well balanced, the malt and citrus hops are pretty equal. I actually thought it was sort of thin...maybe I should I took it out of the cellar before. Was still a good beer though.

Poured a golden color with a white head. Aroma was of some spices and not much more. Flavor was also a bit spicey but mainly bland and not too much else to say.

Pours Hazy, medium orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is mightly malty of light bread and cereal, moderatly hoppy, grassy, heavily yeasty; bubblegum, raisins and plums. Flavor starts well balanced, sweet and grainy at first, finishes a bit more bitter, slight alcohol in the middle, clean finish. light to medium bodied, oily and livley carbonated. NICE
