  • Pours clear with almost a full glass of big-bubbled foam via an aggressive pour. Retention is okay with the foam becoming a bit frothy. Lacing is sporadic and minor for the amount of foam.

    Aroma is Belgian yeast, clove, pepper, and banana. Seemed more hefeweizen than expected.

    Taste is hard to find much sweet. Belgian yeast, clove, and some bittering hops. Even more than those is the pepper. It is a bit zippy and maybe a little strong as it lingers in the mouth.

    Light end of medium body with a zest carbonation.

    This is just okay. The pepper in the taste just takes over the beer to the point that by the middle of the drink, it is all encompassing. Beer should be much better balanced and my bias against pepper doesn't help. Enjoy!

Beer Notes
  • It is a Belgian-style Pale Ale with an American twist. It is brewed with pale, carahell, and wheat malts, and hopped with centennial and Cascade hops to give it a distinctly American character. The medium bodied beer has a crisp palate an moderate bitterness coupled with the fruity esters from the abbey yeast strain. It is bottle and keg conditioned so expect a tall fluffy head and a small amount of sediment.
