Heavyweight Lunacy

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

Decent beer. Does not look strong, but tastes a little strong. A pretty good belgian style, but I’ve definitely had better.

Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is fruity and somewhat floral. Taste is oranges, yeasty, sweet. Fruity aftertaste. Good stuff.

Tangerine colored with a small white cream above. An undeniable sour cream scent, with hints of coriander, honey, Belgian malts and yeast and loads of fruit. Strange, sour, musty yeast character...too sweet and doughy.

Head is initially small, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy dark yellow, bottle conditioned. Aroma is moderately malty (cereal), lightly hoppy (flowers), lightly yeasty (mold, cobwebs), with notes of banana and plastic. Flavor is heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, moderately alcoholic. Too sweet, poor aroma, alcohol-heavy...what were they thinking?

Pour is hazy golden orange with a thin white head...smell is coriander first with some light citrus notes too...maybe some black pepper too...mouthfeel is thick and chewy...candy sweet at first with a syrupy texture with some cherry and pear moving into a light spicy finish...

pours and orangish yellow color w/ a small white head nice lacing nad visible carbonation, but the head broke down quickly. Smells of bread dough a bit of yeast some nice spice and a sweet carmel malta bit of brown sugar. Palate is well coated lightly creamy and has a nice mouth feel. Flavor is very sweet nice brown sugar carmel.. belgian yeast dough and some light fruits warm alcohol feel in the finish.... sweet and delicous.

I’ve been wanting to try this since I got back from Baltimore in June. It pours a light orange/yellow with a collapsing head a little lacing. Sour bread/cookie dough nose. Spicy and sour flavor with a light body for almost 8% alcohol. Moderately acidic in texture. Nice beer.

Bottled. U.S. Beer 27 of 31 for <a href=http://www.americanbeermonth.com> American Beer Month! Smell is kind of light when opened, just a whiff of fruitiness, hops, and maybe brett. May have gone a little stale. Pours slightly darker than a pils, a bit cloudy, making a nice soda-pop sound as the head fizzes. Immediate taste impression is of a nice champagne, which I enjoy. Alcohol is well in front, followed by a light fruitiness, close to but not quite cherries. There is a kind of yeasty taste, but not the "pizza dough" of some beers, more like it’s kicking into the champagne driness and bitterness. Definitely complex and intrguing.
