12 oz. brown, longneck bottle from a six pack. Freshness date is of Nov 04, notched on side of front label. Fairly fresh. Aromas are of fresh malts, spicy corriander, yeasty bread, and slight, but subdued Belgian funk. Ishould have bought this beer when it first became available, because it would have been that much better. Poured out a brilliantly clear, straw yellow color. The color of a blonde’s hair in the summer sunshine. Fast fading, smallish white head, barely left a small ring of foam around the rim of the glass. No alcohol in the aromas or flavors, but you can definitely tell it’s there. After about 1/2 a glass of this, you start feeling all fuzzy and warm. Tastes are of spicy yeast, fresh malts, yeast, and the classic Belgian funk. Slight barnyard aromas and tastes. Slightly undercarbonated, especially for the style. Not a fault as such, just a warning not to expect too much here is all. Fruity aromas waft up to your nostrils as the flavors wrap around your tongue. Slightly sweet, but not to the point of being cloying. Slight salty note to the finish. A decent effort from the gang in Bal’more.
