Onopa Fratney Street Flanders Ale

Formerly brewed at Stonefly Brewery
Style: Belgian Ale
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

Dark gold color with no head. Decent aroma of smoke. Holy crap! This tasted like somebody dumped a few dozen tobacco leaves into the brew kettle. Not sure what the hell happened to this batch, but I hope it was just an abnormality.

Pours to a hazy straw body with a creamy white head. The flavor has nice, strong Turkish apricots, peach melba, ligh malts. Very unique. Nice tasting. Complex. Could be a touch too bitter/harsh for my tastes with this style. The aroma has some apricots and peaches. Barley? A bit light. The palate is bitter. Medium-light body. Dull carbonation.

Apricot Coloring with White Ring. Angel Food Cake Aroma. Interestingly Enough, Carried into Flavor..Like Slightly Burnt Angel Food Cake...which Could Translate into A Malt Background with Grassy and Light Fruity Notes. Interesting Belgian.

BLBF. Sharp band aid rubber aroma, and it’s not infected. Hazy golden pour. Overly bad and scary rubber flavor. Bites and hurts.

On tap at the Onopa Brew Pub. Bartender told me this was a Belgian Ale (although if I had to classify it, I would call it a trippel). Poured a medium orange/amber color with a small sized white head. Aromas and tastes of fruits, apples, spices, citrus and light candi sugar. Medium sweet. Some lacing left on the glass. I found this to be a decent Belgian that I would order again.

Transparent bright orange with a thin, creamy tan head. Aroma has some barnyard characteristics along with ski socks and grapenuts. Creamy, and medium bodied. Grassy spark ignites only moments before each swallow. Sourdough and white kernel corn flavors lurk in the background. Lemon, citric, bright, sour, bitter, cleansing.

Draft at brewpub. Clear amber body under a thin white head. Butter cookie malts in the aroma with a touch of bitter carrot hops. Pale malt starts off the flavor and is joined by clover honey and strongish spruce/grass hops and sweet carrot. The finish is a crescendo of the grassy hops, touch of crisp hop bite here. A well-done beer - enjoyable malt and bright, crisp hops.
