Commercial Description:
Viszolay is a distinctly continental ale with a hint of the southwest. Belgian malt, Bavarian and Czech hops, and a secret blend of German and Belgian yeast strains provide this beer, inspired by the Trappist’s Dubbel style ale, with a strong traditional base, while a hint of New Mexico wildflower honey infuses it with that ethereal quality that we New Mexicans simply call, “enchanting”. Like the Trappist ales from which it sprung, Viszolay is light and refreshing. The hop’s subtle notes are overpowered by complex fruity flavors derived from the Belgian yeast, leaving Viszolay a very drinkable (yet rather potent) addition to the Santa Fe Brewing Company’s family of beers. Malts: Pilsner, Wheat, Chocolate, Vienna Hops: Saaz

Thanks to Tomthompson89. A funky aroma to this one, an unusual yeast play but not spoiled. The alcohol comes through also on the arma and taste. A bit of laste. A thin mouthfeel and low carbonation. Not really hitting the style, but a kind of Belgian.
