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.

Pours a slightly cloudy yellow color with a small head and decent amount of lacing. Aroma is grassy and malty with hints of fruitiness. Flavor is very similar, grassy and fruity with malt tones through-out. Definite hint of spice in the after-taste.

Medium sized tan head with a fair retention and little lace. Pale gold body. Nose is fruity with a touch of peaches and light yeasty notes as well. Body is light a little slick on the palate. Doughy flavors, notes of citrus and melon. A flavorful spicey brew with a hint of caramel kicking in. Finish is lightly sweet and pleasently fruity. A great warm weather quaffer. Obtained in a trade with The_Beer_God !

Sample at DougShoemaker’s 2005 December gathering - bottle courtesy of rudolf. Bright, clear golden colour. Aroma is a little funky, with some banana notes, but more like banana candy than the real thing. Flavour is fruity and refreshing. Not bad.

Bottle at Doug’s Christmas ’05. Dark yellow with very little head. Nice coriander aroma - sweet. Decent crisp light malt taste with more coriander. I enjoyed it without being blown away.

Bottle at ’December at DougShoemaker’s 2005’ -- courtesy of rudolf. Pours a clear slightly bubbly gold with a small white head. Overly sweet aroma of yeast, malt & fruit -- almost sugary. Flavour follows the aroma and is also too sweet. Body’s a little flat. Just O.K.
