Commercial Description:
2004 Hops in the City festival beer. Fruity, spicy, aromas and flavors contribute to the complexity of this Belgian ale. Medium body and effervescence contribute to a light, dry impression, despite its substantial strength and sweet, smooth finish.

#600 Rating - 750mL bottle. Pours a clear orange, golden color with a 2-inch off-white head. The carbonation for this beer is crazy, very high and the head remains full throughout the tasting. Aroma has a very sweet caramel note, lots of spicy aromas and a smooth bready yeast note. Flavor has a grainy start that quickly moves into a sweet caramel and fruity sweetness, a lot of yeasty estery notes and a pretty modest alcohol presence at the end. Moderate density and the very high carbonation really make this brew feel great in your mouth. Overall a great brew and tasty brew that really hits the spot.

Standard golden pour with a big thick head. Aroma is all Belgian yeast. Flavor is SPICY, with some citrus and yeast along for the ride. Not exactly what I expected, but very interesting and tasty.

Schlafly grand cru - grainy bready sweet with touches of yeast and a little dust. Tart lemon light grain dusty yeast. Tart odd for grand cru. But tasty. Golden with decent head. 7 4 7 4 14

Bottle pours a hazy golden-orange with a dense white head. Aroma is spicy, citrus fruit, and yeasty. Flavor is spicy, sweet, lightly fruity, with a fairly dry, slightly puckering finish.

Bottle at Noogfest High 5. Poured hazy light brown color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate complex tart citrus yeasty aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. Moderate to heavy bittersweet yeasty flavor with a moderate bittersweet finish and small alcohol bite of moderate duration. Good brew.
