Geiles Bier
Urban Chestnut Brewing Company - Midtown Brewery & Biergarten

Pours a clear, gold color. 1/4 inch head of a white color. Decent retention and good lacing. Smells of herbs, floral hops, yeast, pale malt, and earthy malt. Fits the style of a Belgian Pale Ale. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with an average carbonation level. There is also a noticeable dryness. Tastes of herbs, floral hops, yeast, pale malt, and earthy malt. Overall, average appearance, herbal and floral body, a little unusual, but okay.

 

 

 

Pours an effervescent amber with a sliver of white head. Stays effervescent through out, minimal head retention & lacing

S: Pears, some perfumey hops as this warms

T: Pears & juicy fruit, some lemon hoppyness up front. A little phenol as this warms, some pear skin. Finishes crisp with pear, green apple & a little grassiness & just a kiss of peppery yeast

MF: Medium body, lively carbonation, nice balance

Very drinkable, nice take on the style

This brew, from 500 ml bottle, is golden copper in color. Lots of carbonation and a beautiful white head. The aroma has a little Belgian fruitiness and peppery phenols from yeast, as well as a hint of musty hops. The taste is semi-sweet, with fruit qualities and the finish is cleaner than expected. The beer is extremely drinkable, but would be helped with a bit more body and bitterness.

Light copper in color with excellent clarity. There's a fingernail of off white around the rim and covering most of the top. The aroma is of sweet corn and pale malt which is definitely a different take on this style. There's a slightly fruity note from the Belgian yeast. The pale Belgian malt and the sweet corn essentially combine two kinds of sweetness. The Belgian yeast adds a touch of fruity tartness. The body is substantial and yet surprisingly quaffable likely due to the addition of corn.

 

 

Growler fill and on tap. Poured out a clear, golden amber color with a large, tan head of foam. It smelled of caramel malt and sweet dried fruit. It tasted of toasted caramel, spices and some dried fruits. Nice sharp bitter finish.
