Two housekeeping items. First, Hedonis is the contract brewer; but the relationship seems to be closer than a contract brew. We shall see how long BBB continues. Hedonis has a large modern plant; lots of shiny vessels and capital involved. But, I give good Overall Hugs for this inventive arrangement.
Second, Julia really strikes me as a Belgian Blond, mostly because of the yeast. While Julia uses two American hops and they penetrate a bit like American pales, Julia's yeast and mouth is Belgian. But with me as the first review in nine years, I see no point in fussing about style. And the argument could never end if I were to say this reminded me of a Belgian IPA. So to get to the end of styling this ale with a limited future, I do rate Julia relative to Belgian Blonds, not Americans.
Julia Smells (not enough fruit) and Tastes (too hoppy) only slightly above the average Belgian Blond. Better in Looks and Feel. A Sante' !
