8% abv
11.2 oz stubby bottle
Style: Blond Ale
Sampler Six Pack
$22.99
Appearance: In to the Mystic Orange – I want that job at the
paint company to name their colors - one
and half finger snow white head; some lacing with each sip but not much
sticking to the chalice
 |
| This is the appearance before I swirl the bottle with the last inch of ale |
Aroma: not very pronounced; mild overall; I’ll do my best to
describe this ale: light sweet non-descript malt; golden raisin; hint of orange;
Belgian yeast; I give up for I might fall asleep smelling this ale
 |
| Here is the appearance poured with the sediment This ale should have a misty appearance |
Flavors: blood orange; hint of apricot; golden raisin; fresh
sweet pear; very pleasing fruity style; Belgian yeast; sweet biscuit; light
spice – nothing discernable
Mouthfeel: this ale is all about mouthfeel; semi-creamy;
very light carbonation for a fine fizzy feel; pleasing fruity style from start
to finish; medium body at best;
To the Point: a pleasing ale to sit back and enjoy; nothing
special considering the price; probably why I have not had it since 2011; nice
to try once in a while;
Food Pairing: white fish/shell fish
Cigar Pairing: Cameroon wrapped cigars that are mild to
medium in body
