Heavyweight Golden Idol

Formerly brewed at Heavyweight Brewing Company
Style: Belgian Ale
Ocean Township, New Jersey USA

An unclear dark orange beer. The aroma is of peach and spices - of which coriander stands out. The flavor is very spicy, but also with notes of peaches and caramel, leading to an end where the hops dries out the mouth.

(750ml bottle) Lightly hazed golden body with small white head. Aroma is mild sweet, sour, lemon, bit of herbal. Taste is medium sweet, tart lemon, berry, some yeasty. Effervescent light body.

On tap. Hazy amber in color. Fruity, citrus and hoppy smells and tastes. Sweetish start with a light bitter finish. Lively carbonation.

Update. Tasted from bottle on 12/11. Poured medium and cloudy amber/golden color with a huge sized head. Fruity (apples), lemons, citrus and yeast.

Pours a dark golden with a thick frothy white head. Aroma has some Belgian yeasty notes but gets overcome by an off-smelling citric acidity. Had a nice texture for a while, but kinda thinned as it warmed, giving way to some more of the acidity. Needs to be bolder and more balanced, but has some authentic Belgian taste to it.

Hazy, golden ale with a small, frothy, white head. Good retention and nice lacing. Yeasty and citrusy aroma and flavor. Oaky and vineous... Chardonnay. A touch tart and tangy. Light to medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. Short, fruity, mildly bitter finish.

a lot of american attempts at belgian ale go a bit too crazy with the alcohol, this was more subdued. orange colour with yeasty, gingerbread aroma. light apple sweetness, mild bitterness

Thanks Steve for the bringing the bottle, ohhh another OTOP beer I have had! Pours a hazy golden hue with a lasting head and very good lace. The aroma has notes of bubblegum, floral and herbal hops, honeydew, anise and corriander, orange zest, sublime brett character, and oh did I say bubblegum? The taste starts with a wonderful apple twang followed closely by bready yeasty character. The finish is quite peppery and even a a touch woody even though I don’t think it is barrel aged. The feel is lively and refreshing, very carbonated. This beer was a bit of a shocker, didn’t think it would be so good. Yummy and would like to try it again. I guess Pailhead would agree...

750ml bottle (thanks eyedrinkale). Poured a very hazy brownish-orange. and a huge head with lacing as I drank it down. Aroma is mildly sour with notes of leather, barnyard, and oranges. Flavor starts tangy, lemony but not real sour. A little sweet at the end before it leaves you with a medium bitter/spicy finish. The finish is light and refreshing.
