Signature Ale

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

750 mL bottle - clear gold with white head and lots of lacing on the top 1/4; aromas of yeast and sort of like apple juice; fruity flavors are slightly bitter, but fresh and smooth; an interesting brew

Pours hazy orange / copper with a minimal white head. The aroma is like a musty basement, dry butterscotch, apricots, cobwebs and caramel. Medium body with a ton of semi-soft carbonation. The flavor adds a bit more sweetness and some pepper to the aroma traits. The finish has a dry biere de garde essence. A good beer.

Thanks for sharing general_gao. The body was medium gold colored with a light khaki head. The aroma was funky with notes of hay, apricots and carmel. The taste was leathery with some carmel. There was also apple core and notes of apricots. This is a strange brew, but part of my problem is that I do not like apricots.

Orange, small white rim. Citrus, orange, alcohol and fusels. Fusels again, orange, candi sugar, apricot, and yeast esters à gogo. Very slick, oily, syrupy and in the aftertase, a little hops. Well. Seems they get the same results in Belgium...

Sweet aroma and flavor. Aroma has very light wild yeast. Flavor has yeast as well, minimally sour. Clearly a Belgian style beer, with Belgian yeast. Low carbonation. Some wild grass. Malt. Good.

(750ml bottle) Pours a cloudy golden body with a medium white head. Aroma of perfume, herbs, earthiness, grapefruit, and apricot. Flavor of spicy yeast, floral hops, brett sourness, caramel malt, and pepper with a bitter finish.

Sampled at Lost Abbey, RBSG ’08. Slightly hazy, deep golden with a white head. Light dough, lemon, fruity and some herbal character that I can’t quite pinpoint in the nose. Flavor has notes of light brett, pale brewing malt, lemon, herbs, noble hops (but the beer claims to have simcoe and amarillo), slight tinge of sweetness, white grapes/wine and a dry finish. Medium to light bodied; very crisp and effervescent. Well-attenuated. Nice beer.

Bottle shared with Dave of the Brick Store Pub. Yeasty aroma. Cloudy golden with white lace and head. Somewhat funky in taste, it’s an understated and balanced wild ale. Very great and medium mouthfeel.
