Sainte Colombe Dorée
Brasserie Sainte-Colombe

Is that a squirrel in a chicks lap on that label? Interesting. Interesting indeed.

Pours a clouded brown-touched orange/gold with a thinner head that falls quickly. Nose is massive yeast and citrus. Did I say massive yeast? I think I meant to say monstrous. Good lord. Pretty intense there. (Calms down after time.) On top of that yeasty and bright citrus, I want to say there is a minor ink tone. Flavor is bringing the wheat. I think Simon at La Cave des Bulles described this as a German wheat beer. I would have to slightly disagree with him and say it seems like a cross between a hearty German wheat and a Belgian wit. It does seem to carry some banana and clove, which I think is highly interesting. Feel carries an excellent carbonation and the liquid is thickly bodied. I like this beer. An unusual wheat beer from what a Westerner (a.k.a. an American) might be used to, but it's good. Nice honey tones as well. I dig it. I'd go on this all night if I had the opportunity.
