650ml bottle - the latest in the Back Alley Brews series. This time it's a Belgian table beer, which was made in the parti-gyle method, with the stronger beer currently aging for later release - interesting!
This beer pours a clear, medium copper amber colour, with a near-teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and fairly creamy off-white head, which leaves some random splotchy lace around the glass as it quickly and evenly subsides.
It smells of gritty and grainy pale malt, some gently estery yeastiness, indistinct earthy spice notes, and a minor dose of leafy, weedy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, edgy Low Countries yeast, some black pepper and clove-ish spiciness, and more understated earthy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-supporting frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and more or less smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a good time here. It finishes trending dry, the malt going full cracker, along with a bit of lingering spicy yeast.
Overall, this is a pretty bang-on version of the proclaimed style (as opposed to the one listed on BA), with the old school yeast really taking charge. Dry, easy to drink, and full of flavour, especially for the measly 4 points of alcohol. I'm definitely looking forward to the debut of its big brother.
