Malheur 10

Yellowy beige body with tons of brown sand sized floaties everywhere, a large fluffy white head that had phenomenal retention caped off the brew, don’t know what it is but this color of the beer doesn’t look right. Aroma attacks your nose with a very intense and strong wheat and yeast combo the 10% alcohol was nowhere to be found. This aroma is way too sharp it’s making the brew a little to aggressive smelling for me. Flavor seems to start off very strong and bold but melts away to nothing in the finish. Lots of wheaty malts and hints of unknown spice comprise the flavor, seems a to be a touch sweet for my liking but not out of control. The alcohol can’t be tasted what is pretty good given the 10% however my stomach is getting a very warm feeling half way done the beer. It’s a tasty brew but the flavor is a little too sharp and intense for me I think there are way better beers in this style that I would much rather drink and I think the label looks horribly tacky. Review done while watch UFC."

Peculier Pub: CARBONATION!!! 2x as much as I ever want in a beer, actually scrub away the taste way too quickly. Dark golden pour, and despite the carbonation the head disappeared almost immediately. Very sweet, but bad sweet. Like young, sugary fruits. No thanks!

In short: A very hoppy and crisp Belgian blonde ale.
How: Bottle 750ml. Consumed when almost 1 year of age.
The look: Cloudy blonde body topped by a large persistent white head
In long: A pleasant noble hops nose with lots of dry grass. The body is crisp and a bit too slim. Crisp pale malts with a slightly honeyed crackers sensation. Strong dry grassy hops presence. Meringue, a little lemony. Alcohol is a little apparent from start to finish and that’s too bad. That’s a very clean brew. Gets better in the last third of the bottle when the fluffy yeast provides more body to cover up the alcohol. This is the only brew from the Malheur lineup that shares many characteristics with my personal favourite Malheur Brute but it lacks the depth and finesse of the Brute. I suspect that this is pretty much the same beer as the Malheur Brute except for the champagne yeast/process used for the Malheur Brute. This really is a classic Belgian strong blonde ale, Malheur is not an odd brewery, with their Malheur 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 they are clearly an even brewery.

Dark golden with a generous head (actually tried to spout outa the bottle)... pity about the shit floating around. Fresh, wild bramble aroma. Bready. Bitter sweet with a round fermented palate. Overripe fruit, dried grapes, somewhat burned, caramel taste. Bit too alcoholic in the main body. Not my favourite beer at all.

Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a light gold, hazy, does have alot of sediment, white fizzy head. Aroma is fruity, had a mix of dark fruit, malty, alcohol, perhaps a little honey??? Flavor is malty, some fruit, also a little dark fruit, yeasty, alcohol, sweet. Mouth feel is heavy with high fizzy carbonation. Overall, WoW, some good shit!!!

Bottle. Pours an orange gold body with a big white head. Lots of citrus and sweet etoh latent fruits. Peach and citrus with some floral hoppiness. Chewy etoh latent fruit to finish.

At World Beer Festival this brew poured a dark amber with lots of head from the bottle. Aroma of dark fruit and malt. Lots of raisin taste with a very dry hopped finish. Nice carbonation.

(33cl bottle) Hazy, golden coloured and effervescent hue with a big frothy white head. Yeasty, moderately sweet pale malty aroma with grassy and slightly flowery hops, accompanied by traces of alcohol. Sweet and balanced bitter flavour, full bodied with a pleasant carbonation. Malty base with a pleasantly strong hops-character and a shy lemon-fruity note; dry-ish bitter-sweet, still pretty hoppy finish with bearable coriander- and peppery spice. Truly nice. (26.IV.09).
