New Belgium Lips of Faith Peach Porch Lounger, Ale Brewed with Molasses and Lemon Peel, with Peach Juice Added. 9.4% ABV.
Bright, clear, peachy appearance, slim and soon gone head.
Aroma: A little sour, a little funky, with apparent fruit. Sweetness is here, but balance, too. A bit mellow and quiet.
Taste: Sweet peach, cut with lemon. Molasses isn't tasted, perhaps it's was added for the fermentable sugars. Definitely a Belgian yeast at work, maybe even Brett? Has the feel of a lambic, with a complex array of fruit, sweet and sour.
Nice stuff. A bit too strong for me, though. I'd like it a bit better if it wasn't attacking my system quite so hard and so soon. Maybe 7% would be more palatable. More mellow. Not so hot, as they say.
Hey, let's see what kind of garbledy-gook is on the label: "An afternoon on the stoop, Foot stomps a loop, Southern style poured in two glasses, Time becomes molasses, Harmony with hominy grits, Peel the peaches and throw out the pits, get some action in the bottle with brettanomyces, G Love in a Brew, Peach Porch Lounger sings just for you."
Okay, first of all that is terrible, and has inconsistent cadence. Two, they total bailed on rhyming "brettanomyces" with anything, that shows lack of ambition. There's no talent without ambition. And thirdly, "G Love in a Brew"…what? That's just abominable. "G Love"….god.
