Brasserie Dubuisson
Pipaix, Belgium
7.5% abv
1pt 9.4oz bottle
Appearance: hazy golden-yellow body with a one and a half
finger of pure white head that hangs around for the party; not much on the
lacing
Aroma: not much; very delicate; yeast, biscuit, hay, pear; lemon
drop candy – only one piece (very faint);
Let’s see what happens as the ale warms up
Flavors: pale malt; soft pear; tart apple; hint of lemon;
sugar; yeast; dusty hay; dusty spice; a pinch of chardonnay sea salt
Mouthfeel: very spritzy, lively carbonation; somewhat dry;
dusty; tart; medium body; dry hopped on the aftertaste;
 |
| This ale can be aged |
To the Point: the flavors seem a little disjointed; I am not
feeling the flow; the sugar is just there it’s not in the mix – example: candied
fruits or pear cotton candy – no it’s pear, apple, lemon and then sugar; like
the sugar was an afterthought;
To me there is nothing special about this speciale; I don’t
remember the price tag but, it was 30 to 35 dollars at Ashley’s of Westland
during their Belgian Fest.
10 bucks I might do it again; thirty bucks I’ll pass
