Or De Belgique
Blacklist Brewing Co.

On tap at the brewery.
L: SRM 4 Pours a straw golden color with low steady carbo and a frothy thin white head that leaves clingy lacing all around.
S: Orchard fruits, caramelized malts, sweet grains. It is gently earthy.
T: Lightly sweet fruit tastes with a hint of dried fruits, a light hop bite that helps level the sweetness, I get a light touch of flor spicy yeast and a distant note of wood.
F: Smooth with a med-heavy to heavy bodied mouthfeel and a medium length finish.
O: Very good tasting and has a pleasing feel. It has very nice European qualities. I will order this beer again. It is very good in its style.

Bold gold body, slightly cloudy; thick, frothy head, white and long-lasting; rings of foam inside the glass. Richly sweet smell; ripe apricot with notes of caramel. The taste follows along the lines of the smell; sweet with yellow stone fruit character; mild bitterness on the back-end; relatively mild candi sugar flavor. Heavy body; somewhat chewy yet exuding a somewhat light bubbly quality.

This is a fine Belgian-style golden ale. It brings some fine fruit tree sweetness with a decent mouthfeel to the palate. Nice.

ABV: 7.5%; pouring temperature: 50 °F; canning info: n/a

Pours a very clear and brilliant yellow with a thin layer of foam. Aroma is deeply grain; lots of good grain aromas here. Taste is light, well carbonated, clean and a grain profile as well here. There are faint notes of lemon and vanilla. Quite refreshing!

At the brewery, in a shaker. Solid and basic down-the-middle-of-the-road for the style. Good substantial malt backbone, maybe a little less sweet than is ideal, but some bubble gum and spicy yeast notes, a little zip to the mouthful, and clean finish.

 

draught
Medium dark golden amber look. Light, very slightly apricot and chalk, with medium light, sweet spiced malt aroma. A moderate tang, along with a light floral/spice malt note. Medium light bodied.

*I am unsure how old this beer is so this review might be on an old beer. I am not sure*

Appearance: Pours a mostly clear, medium to light orange color. Minimal head. SRM of 7-9.

Aroma: Minimal aromas. Some faint sweet malt topped with clove underneath, but unremarkable here. (3.00)

Flavor: Flavor follows the nose with minimal flavor here. Some faint Belgian yeast and malt flavors. (2.75)

Feel: Completely flat with zero carbonation. Moderate body. (2.50)

Overall: I don't know the age of this beer, but it is bad. Maybe/probably much better fresh, but it is completely flat and devoid of flavor. Faint Belgian yeast and spice flavor, but mostly drinks like malt water. Not pleasant. Maybe not a bad beer, but bad if undated and probably old. (Rating: 3.05)

16oz can enjoyed after my final final of finals

Looks murky, no head, smells unimpressive, dusty. This one surprises with a lot of fruit flavor and lacks a bit of "something" that keeps it from that good ole' belgian yeast flavor. It's there, but barely. Mostly burnt corn and fusel alcohol

A great beer, a decent belgian, and a terrible use of the name ODB. Ol' DIrty has nothing to do with this brew, I couldn't imagine a style farther from the man himself. I can't see this being an oversight, so shame on a person who tries to run game on a person

 

Pours a murky light straw yellow with a thin white cap that dissipates rapidly leaving no lacing. Aroma is light ripe fruit and a hint of bubble gum. Flavor follows the nose, sweet with overripe banana and yeast. Feel is medium bodied and lightly carbonated. Overall a very impressive golden ale.

 

 

This beer pours a bold gold with decent but quick dissipating head. The aroma is classic Belgian, with a big whiff of clove and coriander, joined with hints of lemon and floral notes. The flavor is explicitly fruity, with notes of papaya, white grape, strawberry, passionfruit, clove, white pepper, lemon candy, and starfruit. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with effusive carbonation. Overall this is a really wonderful beer - a fully American styled Belgian ale, with tones of fruit flavors, and no added fruit.

Solid ale, above average Belgian ale. Nice drinking.

This is the 7.5% ABV version, not the original 9.5%

Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with about a finger of white head. Smells malty and lightly of Belgian yeasts, slightly fruity as well. The fruitiness comes through more in the taste. Fairly sweet. Medium bodied, lots of bubbles with a slightly sticky finish.

soft pale malt and soft yeast character. A little spice, but not much. Kind of a vanilla quality.
Clear dark yellow and full white head.
Flavor is light too. Again pale malt with some yeast character. Soft dryness. Soft spice but balanced well with the malt.
Carbonated well but still smooth. Light moderate feel.
Pretty average. For a fairly big Belgian it's kinda' simple. It is clean, and I like that. Really wanted to like this. It's not bad, just underwhelming and kinda' boring.

Poured from a 16 oz. can into a tulip.

Pours a hazy/cloudy orange/gold. The head is three fingers and very foamy, with remarkable staying power for the ABV. Excellent lacing.

The nose presents with malt and fruit at the front, though somewhat muddy and elusive as to which fruit profile is pursued. Muted spice notes in the background. A bid lacking in complexity, but a nice aroma.

The flavor is somewhat like the nose. Malts and fruits forward, but the fruit is difficult to describe beyond "fruity." Trending more toward the apple/pear flavor, with yeast and a touch of sourness at the finish. Muted peppery spice notes. Completely lacking in hops, leading one to wonder if a bit of bitterness would have helped discern the sweet flavors more effectively. Overall a pleasing flavor, but somewhat sweet, muddled, and subdued. Still--solid.

The mouthfeel is awfully good. Medium to full bodied, but deceptively so thanks to excellent carbonation.

Overall, this is a solid offering from a Duluth brewer. A bit sweet for the style, and lacking in clarity, but very drinkable and approachable.

 

Poured a clear, orange color with a small, short-lived head. It smelled fruity, estery and sweet with a hint of candy sugar. Sweet with a hint of tartness. Fruity flavors of apple and pear. A mild bitterness.

Note: the can I bought says the ABV is 7.5% not 9.5%

This beer pours a creamy, lighter golden color. Fairly clear. Head was fairly thick and frothy. Nice carbonation bubbles rising in the glass.
The nose is interesting, in a pleasing way. This beer almost smells like a wild ale. Some malt notes.
The taste is quite rich. Lots of flavors. I get, almost a fruity hint. I get nice malts. I don't really get any hops.
Full mouthfeel. Nice body. Nice creamy feeling going down.
Delicious beer.
