650ml bottle, with a nice explanation on the label of the various meanings of the title, as well as a neat-o Belgian-styled Canadian flag.
This beer pours a hazy, medium golden apricot hue, with a mere skinny cap of pretty much just bubbly dirty white 'head', which leaves a bit of choppy seawave lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of sweet applesauce and overripe pears, musty yeast, grainy pale malt, a touch of gritty caramel, rubbing alcohol, and tame earthy, weedy, and wet leafy hops. The taste is bready, grainy pale malt, a mixed fruit salad of apples, pears, and bruised bananas, field honey, still acrid and hovering booze esters, soft white pepper, untethered diacetyl, and fading (with a head start) blended green hop astringencies.
The bubbles are essentially AWOL for the most part, the body a so-so middleweight, and more smooth (with a suggestion of an airy creaminess) than I might have been expecting up until this point of consideration. It finishes off-dry, and yet not really that sweet, the fruit having turned tail, remaindering us to the waiting clutches of Big Alcohol.
I feel like I have been coming around on Tripels of late, but Townsite's (self) lauded Charleston pushes the cause back a long mile. Thin-seeming overall, with a weird mustiness that almost makes you welcome the aggressive booze when it arrives, to spare no soul. Yeah, not particularly good.
