Signature Ale

Brewed by De Proefbrouwerij
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Lochristi, Belgium

great! picked up at the Carlsbad PP shop: i initially gathered an aroma of spice (reminiscent of pumpkin), citrus (lemon--acidic quality), wheat, and almonds; the body is hazy, orange-straw, orange highlight, with a soapy white head that leaves little lace; the flavor hides the alcohol well, and has a more floral, less spicy quality than what the aroma initially provided; smooth and creamy; highly enjoyable though not what i expected for a "Belgian Strong Ale" because this *seemed* lighter, and *seemed* more appropriate for, well, but anyway... it’s great and more SoCal brewers need to collaborate with Europe.

750ml bottle. Pours a hazy murky golden orange with a huge frothy white head that retains well and laces the glass.

The aroma is subdued, but nice - yeast, sugary malts, some fruits and some hops.

The flavor is sweet malts and fruits with a crisp hop finish with a good amount of bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation.

Overall, a pretty different but nice Belgian. It’s a little too sweet for me.

Thanks to notalush for sharing this one. Pale golden cloudy orange beer. Spicy and fruity aroma, orange peel, apricots and a soft earthy/spicy yeastiness. Rich fruitiness, light leathery beginnings of funkiness, but it’s not there yet. Herbal spiciness with loads of apricot and peaches. Softly hoppy finish. Nice beer.

Very good, Malty lightly hops. lots of caramel with a touch of sugar and honey. lively in the mouth. it works on many level. a must have.

Pours out a orange/dark gold color with a small to moderate lacing white head. Aroma is of some fruit, hops, and slight brett. Taste is complex, banana, citrus hops and some yeast going on in there too, I got the brett a lot more on the aroma than the actual taste, none the less this was enjoyable.

750 ml bottle from AJ’s (Tucson) - Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a one finger thick fluffy white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is esters, spice, and light citrus. Flavor is much of the same. Beer leaves a little bitterness and zing to the palate. Medium to full body. A good beer.

On tap @ Falling Rock poured a cloudy gold with a lasting off white head. Aromas of straw, floral, fruitiness, light barnyard and some white wine notes. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of straw, light apple and a hint of barnyard funk with a crisp dry finish.
