Saint Somewhere Lectio Divina

750ml - Thanks solan - Cork let off a big "POP", thanks for heads up Alan. Aroma of sweet bubblegum yeast, caramel, brown sugar and a touch of spice. Pours transparent amber with lots of bubbles and a medium lasting head. Flavor matches aroma with some fruitiness thrown in for good measure. Palate is creamy and smooth. A very tasty American Belgian brown that is underrated here.

dark amber pour with a thick off white head. Aroma was green apple, brown sugar, yeast. Flavor has quite a bit of caramel sweetness, more belgian yeast, plun, fig, dates. Sweeter finish with a good amount of carbonation.

Bottle shared by alexsdad06. Poured clear dark brown color with medium frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting with fair lacing. Complex tart citrus, fruity and yeasty aroma. Medium sweet spicy flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Medium body with a sticky texture and lively carbonation. Good brew.

This beer poured a tea colored brown with a big active tan head that faded into a ring. Didn’t have to look for the aroma, it came and got me. Full of over ripe fruit with yeast, funk, and caramel. Some grass, too. Very nice and sweet. Flavor had a lot going on. Like the aroma it was full of over ripe fruit with spices, pepper, yeast, brown sugar. Felt like dozens of pin pricks on my tongue with each sip. Alcohol wasn’t tasted but I couldn’t get up after drinking the 750. Just a very well done beer and one that could have come from Belgium. Enjoyed!

750 mL bottle. Pours hazy amber with an average, fizzy, light brown head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, straw), average hops (flowers, grass), heavy yeast (horse blanket, barnyard, earth) with notes of apple, pear, raspberry, and wood. Full bodied, sticky and gritty texture, lively carbonation, and a chalky finish. Average duration, light sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

Pours a very light orangish/yellow in color. Not a whole lot of head forming on the pour or sticking around. Smell is fruity, spicy and very floral. Taste is somewhat spicy, again very floral. There’s some light fruit as well, maybe a pear or slight apricot. A little thin on the mouthfeel and at 8% the alcohol is more noticeable than I expected. Drinkable, but nothing I would seek out.

Thanks to iowaherkeye for bringing this bottle to his ’farewell to Iowa’ tasting. My first beer from Florida. Poured a slightly hazy medium orange color. with a soap bubble white head. The aroma was fruit dominated (especially pear) with a bit of toffee underneath. There was also a whiff of chlorinated pool water. Kind of like that smell you sometimes get in a the hotel lobby that lets you know there is a pool somewhere in the building. Very fruity and semi-sweet. I tasted pear, apple, peach, and rock candy. Akin to a fruit liqueur.

Bottle from Iowaherkeye - thanks Joey. Sweet apple and honey aromas with some roasted scents. Caramel brown with a flat head. Dry roasted malt, light caramel, apple juice, fruit cake, and a light spiciness. Creamy and somewhat flat with a light dryish finish. Good.
