So, not a beer that I thought that I would ever see in the USA, but apparently there have been a few kegs that have made it stateside. Gotta say too that I'm not predisposed to mixing beers, especially when the two beers in question are so...
Chimay 175 is also a future, year round release as Chimay Yellow. Honey colored body with a little chill-haze. Head is typical, i.e., bone-white, bubbly and has excellent retention. Lovely lace. Somewhat neutral, grainy nose that opens on warming...
Well this is interesting. Firstly I wish this wan't canned. Overlooking that, I get to the beer. A light golden body, with some impressive head. Retention is OK, but lace is above average. The lightness of the color gets repeated in the tastes as...
Some things are just meant to be! I had never tried Kwaremont until December of 2024 when I went to Sergio's for the first time. He had it on draft there. Really enjoyed it and had to get a bottle from Belgium. Got the bottle and ordered the glass,...
The Steenbrugge beers used to be available in Atlanta back in the day, and I would dip into them occasionally. I only see a single review from me of the Wit from 2011 which wasn't very complimentary, but I am positive that there was another style...
The second of two bottles from Belgian Style Ales, this beer is a relatively new entrant to the US market. Mid lemon-light orange body with some haze. The head is large, fluffy and relatively light. Some lace, good retention. Nose and first tastes...
Slightly hazed, orange-golden body with a light and wispy head. Lovely sticky lace remains, small collar of foam and film presists. Sweet grains on the nose and the same form the initial tastes. Theres a light touch to this beer that belies the 8%....
11.2 oz bottle as part of a four bottle gift pack with a glass. $40 form Belgian Style Ales. The pour is a golden one with plenty of deep, fluffy head. Nice lace, nice retention. There is a really significant depth about this beer in terms of...
Golden copper body, with a delightful, high, ice-cream like head with absolutely superb retention and lace. Perfect appearance. Initial tastes are light spice and pepper with some alcohol, and I would say that this starts off almost more like a...
This is a pretty interesting beer. It starts with the appearance which is a lot darker than one might expect, and when viewed in better light gives a tremendous, gold colored appearance. Head lace and retention are all above average if not...
I guess that there are two ways to look at this. Firstly, if you take it for what it is, then it's not bad (even if I think it's a little too hop forward even for a Belgian Pale or Blonde). However, if you start comparing it to Duvel - which IMO is...
When I first heard about this beer I was excited. How could one not be? A collaboration between these two? It has to be great, right? Right?? Of course, I've seen enough collaborations between two high-powered, well-respected breweries to know that...
Another Duvel variant that we don't need, but as you know I'll try all that I can. Here we go with 6.66. A pour that looks suspiciously Hefeweizen-like. Large, pitted, white head. Nose and tastes are surprisingly sweet with a light bitter overtone....
Orange-golden color on the pour with a decent head initially. The head does fade, but it leaves a good ring and thin film, and has some decent lace. Looks solid. Nose is incredibly bready - I mean by any standards. It's good. Tastes are a lovely,...
A beer that I've never seen in the US before last week. $11.99 for the 4 pack of usual Chouffe, 330 mL bottles. Pour is a pale gold. Head is wispy and airy, and leaves some great lace. Retention better than average. More than anything else on the...
11.2 oz bottle, 8/10/21. Bigger brother of FIVE and SEVEN, and smaller brother of ELEVEN. I suppose we can argue at what point something described as a Belgian Strong Blonde becomes a Belgian Strong Pale, or if it does at all, or if it matters at...
The Blonde 40th anniversary beer. The usual Chouffe presentation. Lemon colored, lightly clouded body with an initial high, white, bubbly head. Retention and lace are not great, but there is a thin film left on the surface of the beer. Light, hoppy...
Here we go with a new beer, and one that has obviously been specifically marketed as a lower ABV, "refreshing" thirst-quencher. They are NOT shying away from the marketing on this one! Pretty, bright, light lemon yellow color and a good head on...
Not my first time drinking a Parlor City Brewing Company beer, but my first review of one. Thanks to the brewer and owner Chris for this complimentary 16 oz. Belgian Blonde Ale. Well, if you look at the BJCP style guidelines (25A) for this beer,...
Corked and caged, the latest Anniversary beer from Sweetwater. 18 was a let down, let's see what we have here. Surprising beer all in all. Golden, dark pour with some decent head and lace but the retention is poor. MUCH more Saison like than I was...
Nice pop, good gun smoke. For the record, I've never seen a single second of Game of Thrones, and frankly have no interest. Back to beer. Very vivid golden color with initially a bubbly, wispy head. The head fades but still leaves lots of thin lace...
