New Holland Belgian Hatter

Draught @ New Holland. Pours a clear amber color with a small off white head that leaves specks of lace. The aroma is fresh citrus (mainly grapefruit) with some herbs and pine and the slightest malt influence. The flavor was much of the same with the malt component being a bit more prominent. There is also some yeast that works its way into the flavor as well. Medium bodied.

On tap at New Holland. AKA Belgian Imperial Hatter. Caramely red body, thin creamy off-white head. Piney, grapefruity hops and toast in the aroma. Not too distinctive from the regular Imperial Hatter. Flavor was the same, resiny and strongly citrusy, with a subtle yeast component that I suppose makes this "Belgian." Rather thin body with an alcohol bite.

On tap at the brewery. Thin white head, amber to brown in color. Nose is hoppy and clean. Soft yeast followed by bright crisp hops. Good. Very enjoyable.
