Olde Expensive Ale

500 mL bottle, $4.95 Green’s, Buford, Atlanta, GA, USA. Bottle is different to the style shown in the BA database – no foil. Surprised at the light, butterscotch color of the pour with some serious murkiness – also highly carbonated.

Aroma starts drifting across the room from the Koningshoeven small goblet. Has some sour and faintly funky notes – again, not really what was I expecting for an Old Ale.

As far as the taste goes, AGAIN not at all what I was expecting for the style. A serious tartness and a lingering bitterness in the finish. In fact, I’d challenge the categorization as an Old Ale. Creamy in the mouth, but not really what I was expecting and frankly this was not all that enjoyable or drinkable.

An odd beer.
