Commercial Description:
We fermented the Single on the same Belgian Trappist yeast strain as the White Ale (also the same yeast our Tripel is brewed on ). The recipe includes 100% malted barley (no wheat malt), Czech Saaz hops, and a bit of bitter orange peel for balance and a subtle spiciness. The name “Single” denotes the strength of the brew. For example, while our Belgian “Tripel” comes in around 10% ABV, the Single is 4.5% ABV. Expect a clear, deep yellow brew with a bubblegum/fruit aroma. Flavors include fruit (apples, pears, citrus), as well as a faint graininess and a slight spice from the hops and orange peel. The flavor starts out dry, quickly turning sweet and fruity. The finish is tart and spicy. It is the perfect compliment to grilled meats and vegetables, as well as salads, sushi, etc.

Slightly hazy gold w/ white foam. Yeasty, citrusy aroma w/ notes of grass, wheat, toffee & coriander. Light, highly carbonated feel. Yeasty, slightly tart, mildly fruity flavour w/ a spicy, peppery edge & a dry, alcohol laden finish.

Bubbly and carbonated. Some nice tartness on the lips and tip of the tongue. Some citrus, green apples and malt in the flavor.

Thanks to hopdog for this... Appears a transparent medium gold with a small bubbly white head that quickly fades out. Smell is of pils malt with and Belgian yeast, candy, dough, chalkyness, apricot. Taste is of the same aromas with gentle spices, and a mild sour & sweetness. Mouthfeel is moderately carbonated, sweet, and mildly tart.

22oz bottle acquired in trade with The_Beer_God (thanks!). Poured a medium golden color with a large sized white head. Aromas of lemons, citrus, yeast, caramel, and bananas. Tastes of lemony citrus, green apples, yeast and some spices. I liked the light green apple tartness in the finish.

Poured a golden color with a large, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus fruits, spice, caramel, some toffee, light barnyard funk, and yeast. Taste of citrus fruits, more clove spices, yeast, and a strong, tart, green apple in the finish.
