Dry golden-hazed blonde ale could pass for light-bodied Farmhouse ale. Eye-squinting citric-soured longevity and dark floral bouquet impede mossy herbal whim. Mild resinous hop-spiced bittering secures lemon-seeded apricot-peach-apple souring to lemongrass finish.

Pour thin gold-hazed moderate body slowly or risk overt carbonation. Cat urine aroma, astringent alcohol smudge, and murky yeast funk bring off-putting opulence to dry pepper-spiced raw-honeyed citric-soured white wine billow. Tart lemonade, green apple, and white grape illusions underscore mild orange peel serenade. But putrid odorous opening spells trouble.

More sour than sweet in 4-month old bottled version, fizz-popped hazy golden moderate body brings tart lemon peel bittering to floral, herbal, and grassy hops. At midst, teasing candi-sugared sweetness folds into vinous yellow grape esters, unripe orange rinds, and yellow peach skins. White-breaded backdrop softens citric illusions, allowing dry straw-hay-barnyard parch to gain influence. Touch of vodka or gin liquoring in deep recess.

Slowly pour sunny-hazed pearly-headed blonde to avoid over-carbonation. Bark-dried orange peel and grapefruit rind bittering reaches tart hard candied center, enlivening white peach, pineapple, and quince fruiting. Herbaceous twang lingers through ascending peppery-hopped lemon seed souring.

Pleasant light-bodied clear straw summer seasonal places sharply spiced lemony hop tingle above paltry sourdough serenity. Dewy, grassy earthiness and trifling floral tinge tease coriander-backed banana-quince wisp.

Clover honey fermentation and spry hop bitterness counter toasted barley-oats serenade to smooth finish, but tobacco-leafed lemon and nectar illusions hidden too far below surface. Brewery defunct: 2006.

Herbal nose and perfumed floral-hopped tongue invade hemp-daubed, billowy white-headed, hazy golden ale (leaving chunky Brussels lace on glass). Dirty mineral earthiness lingers below wheat wafer distention and sugared citrus dalliance.

Summery tan-headed hazy-bodied blonde puts sunny citric hop spicing and light floral bouquet up-front. But muted lemon-orange-banana midst fades to oblivion and soapy finish precludes mild wheat backing.

Oak-aged dark amber Flemish-Belgian-inspired ale honoring former World War II French brewery pits sour chocolate malts against dry prune and unripe quince. Floral hops decorate backdrop, yeast sediment coats bottom, cumulative berry-citrus tang increases effervescence, and white grape tannin brings suitable acridity.

Surfacing apple-spiced butterscotch tingle heightens creamy caramel-toffee sweetness reinforcing barley-dried wheat germ bottom (after carbolic foam subsides). Leafy earthiness lingers below, increasing divergent pepper-hopped bittering.

Founded in 1121, Lefebvre’s Belgian brewery is quite possibly the oldest in the world. Puffy head and cloudy amber complexion greet this moderate-bodied ale. Though thick foamy carbonation takes away from sweet apple-peach subtleties, its stimulating malted cereal grain finish reinforces barley-wheat graining.

Lively bubbly-foamed farmhouse-brewed blondie brings effervescent orange zest and tangy tangerine-apricot ripeness to vanilla Creamsickle theme. Nectarine illusions continually sweeten its already steady citric promise.
