(GORDASH) HOLY MACKERAL SPECIAL GOLDEN ALE

Heady Belgian-styled golden-hazed medium body (brewed for Florida’s Gordash Beer Company in South Carolina) brings vanilla malt creaminess to fungi-soured Belgian yeast endurance. At midst, peppery Saaz hop bitterness and musty barnyard funk counter durable cotton-candied butterscotch rummage, wavered apple-apricot-pear fruiting and clove-coriander-spiced banana bubblegum whim. Delightful maraschino cherry ripeness, zippy cinnamon-gingerbread dalliance, and supple Cognac finish prove affirmative. Busy mix never falters. On tap at Plantation’s Hurricane Grill & Wings, sweeter honey-fruited thrust receives herbal twinge.

DUVEL GREEN

Straw-hued frothy-headed top-fermented Belgian draught with “devilish” moniker, eloquent white burgundy palate, musty alcohol-laden flow, and fizzy hop spritz. Pour slowly to allow sour yeast sediment to settle properly. Wheat wine illusions overwhelm spicy adjuncts to grainy finish for a healthy slow sipping treat similar to German wheat ales – but without all that nose tingling carbonation. However, thin aftertaste lost in a sea of anonymity.
