March 2012 seasonal, made with a Wit yeast strain, apparently. An imperial pint in downtown Edmonchuk.
This beer appears a clear, glassy, dark brassy amber hue, with one finger of thin creamy beige head, which wisps away rather quickly, leaving a low slinking wall of lace around the glass.
It smells of sweet caramel malt, a bit of butterscotch, marzipan, a touch of citrus cream, and very tame leafy hops. The taste is more clammy citrus cream right up front, almost sour, with a decent caramel/toffee malt, some musty yeast, and a damned-near hidden earthy hop dryness.
The bubbles are a tad cranky, and mildly cutting, but hardly overly so, the body an aspiring medium weight, held back by an airiness inherent in the carbonation, which also messes with the smoothness. It finishes fairly off-dry, the bready caramel still contending with the generic citrusy yeast.
Not a bad beer, but more than a wee bit scattered - the Flemish emulation claims falling apart in this context. The citrus component seems to be the main offender, not really adding a whole lot of positive in its participation, amongst the more pervasive unbalanced sweetness issue. Moving along...
