Carried from the curb at Beermiscuous.
Way too many fumes for a fine ale. Habit Forming starts with a beautiful burnt orange body, but the foam fades fast and leaves the clue of being yeast-less or, at least, yeast-weak. Smells are more fumes than fruit. Tastes offer up a medley of spices; but they strike me more as a distraction, or even an additive. How does this feel in my mouth? Don't ask.
Not much to recommend here. It is too soon for a two year old brewery to start brewing the more difficult parts of the Belgian tradition. Prior to this, Sew Hop'd had four Belgians, the same wit recipe with flavoring /fruit variations. To jump from that (brewing wheat correctly to) to a tripel (requiring a good yeast) is a big jump and Habit Forming does not make it. I will try a wit from Sew Hop'd. But Habit Forming thinks it get away with amping up the alcohol and using spices to coverup what is missing: a yeast that performs and turns malt into fruit. My advice: go find the right yeast before you attempt to turn barley into fruit.
