Last night (this morning), I forgot that I had a TH growler in the fridge, but, on the other hand, it was opened Wednesday night, and though I haven't posted a review of their Dubbel yet on this blog, it was in no state to represent it in a review. Maybe I'll go back for more?
So, the first blast of beeriness came from my final bottle of New Glarus Moon Man, Then, on to a bottle bought on that last Wisconsin trip, from the Utah concern, Squatters. I wasn't in the proper frame of mind for serious ale examination, and these were the notes:
Squatters Hell's Keep Belgian Style Golden Ale, Reserve Series, The Devil's Private Stash. 7.75 % ALC by VOL. 1 pint, 9 fluid ounces. Utah Brewers Cooperative, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Looking good. golden hued, clear, voluminous head, large, proud, and snowy white. Beautiful.
Aroma: a blend of spice, citrus, and sugar. Soft, subtle, and scintillating.
Taste: Sweet, then dry, spicy, sparkling, sweet again, fruity, and yum. Yeasty goodness aplenty, afloat in this malty body. Very zesty, uber carbonated. Bright, springy, summery….mmmm.
I feel like taking this apart, and being super-persnickety, but on the other hand, not. I like it. It's got a lot going on. Sweet, spicy, dry. And on, and on. Effervescent, fruity, yummy. Light bodied, but long in flavor.
Ain't nothing wrong with these words, I just didn't find myself picking them apart and taking them to task. It's an adequate ale, hits the right notes, doesn't disappoint, while not rocking everyone's world, either.
