Admirable Belgian yeast-driven, American dry-hopped, strong pale ale (circa 2011). Bitter orange-peeled lemon-seeded moderation and crisp white-peppered coriander-spiced floral hops contrast candi-sugared apple-candied peach, melon, and honeydew sweetness above polite rye malting.

Vacillating amber-golden moderate body doesn’t necessarily promote Belgian-styled peculiarities well, but its strong bite will please less discriminating hop-heads. Expectant candi-sugared yeast musk lacks distinction and metallic alcohol-burnt twinge proves dismissive, but lemon-seeded pineapple, orange, cherry, and banana illusions delicately nudge rosy floral-wafted honeyed herbal dalliance, neatly contrasting sullen black-peppered juniper-like bittering.

On tap, amiable amber-hazed dry-bodied cask-conditioned Belgian Golden/ American Pale Ale blend allows apple cider tea entry to inform white-peppered rosemary-thyme herbage and zesty Caracao-mandarin orange tartness.

Eccentric rose-hued hibiscus-flowered barrel-aged Belgian pale ale retains soft-watered lemon-bruised hop prickle above mildly acrid Japanese kombucha tea herbage. ‘High-end styled award winning’ moderate body gains dry barnyard funk and mild juniper bittering, but blanched strawberry-peach aromatics and oaken cherry tartness thin out, lessening fruited alacrity and heightening acidic nature.

Modest straw-hazed bottle-conditioned Belgian-styled pale ale places smooth citric-floral subtlety above delicate peppery-hopped dryness and honeyed wheat sweetness. Key lime-pied mandarin orange tartness, zesty lemon-bruised banana breading and scant peach-pear reminder render light-fruited Seltzer-fizzed template. White grape hints make short stint.

Engaging 7% alcohol Belgian-styled winter ’05 offering opens with beautiful floral-over-marmalade sweetness aided by doughy ‘rare yeast’ souring, apple cinnamon bun sensation and ethanol Reisling-wined esters. Herbal mint-y freshness, clove-chamomile suggestion, earthen barnyard underside and mild oaken cherry acridity provide tertiary splendor to emerging peach-honeyed cantaloupe-banana-pear fruiting of complex winter seasonal. 2012 and ’13 versions may’ve upped coriander-spiced mandarin orange, navel orange and tangerine lacquering as well as ripe peach tang.

Citric-fronted amber-hazed Belgian-styled pale ale bestows orange rind, lemon peel, and grapefruit bitterness upon tamped down hop sedation to soft wheat bedding. Embraceable candied malt sweetening follows through effectively.

Herbaceous medium-bodied Belgian pale ale places mellow lemon rind bittering above white ale spicing (clove-allspice-lemongrass-peppercorn). Dry cork-like midst picks up simmered lemon custard and key lime pie illusions.

Fab easygoing swirly-headed Belgian strong pale ale matches stewed prune juicing to raisin-pureed fig and date sugaring. Kaffir lime leafs add tartness to white grape esters, candied apple spell and honeydew drift. White-peppered coriander. currant and clove settle atop oats-roasted bottom as creamy vanilla dirge surges.

Doesn’t Unibroue brew these nowadays? Anyhow. Drenched in smoked whiskey malt, delicately smooth-bodied Belgian-styled pale ale caresses yeast-infested honeyed wheat sweetness with peated wood burnt overtones, banana-vanilla variance, and bread crust grove. Peculiar soda-like effervescence quite different from most mountain water-based Molson beers.

Pour slowly highly carbonated white-headed blond. Resilient candied butterscotch banter and white-peppered hops lend laid-back elegance to doughy biscuit spine. Mild medicinal spell subdues citric-spiced finish, becomong a tad soapy along the way.
