Petrus Speciale Ale, Alc. by Vol. 5.5%. Product of Belgium, Brewed and bottled by Brewery Bavik.
Clear amber color, small white head.
Aroma: clean, crisp, and grainy. a very lager-like aroma, not many fruity esters in this. Spicy hops, but still giving me more a pilsner feel than an ale of any kind.
Taste: More crisp, more clean. Light bodied, lean, easy-breezy and worry-free. Light, little hop tingle, cracker-y malt flavor, ending is dry. It is a tasty thing, but doesn't deliver quite what I'm looking for. If you're just looking for a classy, light drinker, this is your "key to heaven." Not so much mine.
Let's look at the label band: "Petrus Special is an amber-coloured top fermented ale This ale's characteristic aroma is a result of the specially selected malt and hop varieties. Petrus Special is brewed according to an age-old recipe. Serve cool."
