On-draught @ the brewery. $5 per pint.

5.6% ABV. Belgian with peppercorns & Sorachi Ace hops.

Sweet but not imbalanced. Sorachi Ace hops are showcased but feel wrong alongside the peppercorn spice. Slightly herbal, evoking sage and rosemary.

Belgian yeast throws out esters left and right.

An interesting beer if a flawed one. Not terrific, but drinkable and enjoyable for what it is. The chosen ingredients don't combine to good effect, but it's decent fare for what it is. I wouldn't knowingly revisit it, but it's not a bad brew by any stretch.

Still, who thought Sorachi Ace would play in a Belgian Ale?

C+ (3.16) / ABOVE AVERAGE
