Weyerbacher Verboten Belgian-style Pale Ale, Bottle Conditioned. 12 fl.ozs, 5.9% Alc. by Vol.
Very plain packaging, no illustration, no other verbiage on the label, no problem, let's pop this open and see what's in there.
Hazed, deep amber, huge head, lots of big, rocky, lace-leaving foam. Looking nice.
Aromatics: fresh, lively, hoppy. Plenty of Belgian yeast character, in pale ale form. Citric fruit and light spices. Scintillating.
Taste: Medium-body, nicely hopped, good match of toasty malt character and hops bitterness. Bit of a toffe/caramel taste, laying low, keeping it in control with the tasty hops on top, and Belgian yeast keeping it nice and funky.
Yum, nice stuff, good and bitter, easy drinkability, perfectly sessional. But why is it so Verboten. Why forbid this? It's so nice.
