Homunculus

A: Truly golden color, with a some haze, and topped with a soft white head. S: Lot's of variety in the nose. First an attractive spice and its mixed with a big hit of full orange fruit. Beyond that let your imagination run wild. I'm getting some sugars, a little banana, and caramel malts. T: Bold blast of sweet fruits and malt. It's refreshing and fizzy, but a bit of hop bite at the end. O: Well made brew. The yeast profile is interesting, is slightly reminicant of a hefenweizen. There's no way I'd guess the abv at 9.9. If you like this style, you'll like this brew.

Pours clear with minimal, white foam. Retention is fleeting with a spotty, juicy lacing. Aroma is Belgian yeast to start: spice. Green grapes and pear fruits jump out of the glass to greet the nose. Banana and a touch of sweet can found too. Taste is sweet, fruity, and Belgian yeast. The three mix it up a touch to deliver a delicate yet complex brew. Spice and bitterness linger. A late burn from alcohol. Medium body. Subtlety bigger? A spritzy carbonation livens things up. For such a large beer this one lends itself to being easy to drink but the alcohol hints remind one that this isn't to be taken lightly. Well crafted. Enjoy!

Aroma: Belgian yeast! Yum! Color: Deep gold, semi translucent. Big bubbles in lace. Tight carbonation in beer. Taste: Wow. More Belgian than I anticipated. Alcohol up front, spice and fruityness. A lot going on. A mix of classic Belgian spices and.... stuff. I can't pick one out and say 'this is a X forward beer'. It's a well balanced blend of "Belgian Attributes" that is sharp, but easily drinkable. I would drink this beer again. I would even consider cloning this beer if I could figure out what's in it.
