In honor of Lucy Parsons, the wife of A.R., who was hanged for his involvement in the events of May 4th, 1886 just outside our front door. This huge Belgian strong golden ale is brewed with authentic Abbey ale yeast from one of the remaining Trappist breweries of Belgium and dry-hopped with 11 pounds of Saaz hops! A Haymarket twist to a Belgian classic!!!

Had a 5 ounce sample from their five beer flight. This was my first Haymarket experiences at their Bridgman, Michigan location. Very solid. Very drinkable Belgian at 9%. Took awhile for the flavors to develop. Will definitely be trying this again.

Draft: Poured a yellow color ale with a medium size foamy head. Aroma of residual sugar and light warming alcohol is average. Taste is dry with some light residual sugar notes. Body is about average with good carbonation and light warming alcohol. Lacks the complexity associated with the style and the yeast profile is not as dominant as I would have expected.

Pours a cloudy, dark golden orange color with straw colored edges and a half finger white head that quickly settles into a thin, lasting ring. Minimal spotty lacing left behind. Nice color but head and lacing are weak.
Subtle grassy hops in the aroma along with bready yeast, alcohol sweetness, pale malt and light fruit esters. Grassy saaz hops with delicate resins followed by bread, biscuit, apple, pear and faint peppery spice. Somewhat bland aside form the light fruit presence. A bit boozy as well with stronger alcohol character than expected.
Medium body with earthy floral hop flavors countered by bready yeast, faint spice and light fruit notes. Dry, piney bitterness is prominent up front but never overwhelms . Cut mid-palate by citrus/topical fruit sweetness, strong bread/yeast character and light fruit, especially apple and pear. Kind of reminds me of an American pils/tripel hybrid. Not a bad take on the style but nothing really stands out.
