650ml bottle - a 'hibiscus Belgian Strong Ale'. Also, it apparently 'explores the complex palate of unobstructed Belgian yeast'. Shit, I should have read the fine print - oh well.
This beer pours a mostly clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some grotto cave form lace around the glass as it quickly dissipates.
It smells of grainy and crackery cereal malt, some indistinct dark floral notes, an estery yeastiness, rubbing alcohol, and plain earthy, musty, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, hibiscus-scented perfume, earthy yeast, some muddled pome fruitiness, and more well-understated musty, herbal, and grassy noble hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly limp in its palate-disappointing frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and sort of smooth, with that burbling booziness kind of bringing things down a notch or so here. It finishes off-dry, the grainy and malt likka tendencies prevailing.
Overall - yeah, this comes across more like a boozy mess than any particular display of Belgian yeast onslaught. Not exactly easy to drink, but it will eventually do the trick, if that's what you're in the market for, I guess.
