Edmund's Oast "The Gamesman"
on tap at the brewery on 12/21/14
$5 / 12 oz. glass
I'm not sure I would really call The Gamesman a Belgian IPA, it's a Brettanomyces IPA (based more on strength than hops), and Brett can occur anywhere, but thinking about it's flavor, it's kind of like an Orval kicked up a notch.
In the glass it's a hazy orange beneath a full head of off-white foam. It offers excellent head retention and lacing.
The aroma is clearly Brettanomyces based with a light bit of malt. It's not brash, but you wouldn't doubt that it's there either.
The flavor takes that further with typical Brettanomyces flavors: metallic/sharp, mineralish, and grassy like wet, straw. I'm not sure whether the slightly honeyish malt is actually grainy and straw-like, or if the straw-like character is coming at least in part from the Brett. The mineralish, dry finish lingers about as long as it can.
Overall, a unique and interesting beer that requires little effort to capture your attention. Quite nicely done, and a clear indicator of why Edmund's Oast has done so well.
