Hazed crimson hue...big, creamy beige head. Lovely looking.
Fruity aroma, sweet and sour, funky stuff, whiffs of spice and straw, hayloft and orange, lemon and sod, a little apple...ah!!!
Slides into the palate assuredly...a nice blast of hops, blanketed by the Belgian yeast, coating the mouthfeel, hops spiking up a little from below. Little bitterness remains, but plays consistently on the palate. Delicate, and tasty buzz. Very smooth, easy drinking, ...but full of character, chock-full of juicy, jazzy hoppy flavor.
zesty stuff, flush with Belgian funk. Great drinker, highly recommended.
From the label: "It's arguable that our menacingly delicious HopDevil has always been wild. With bold German malts and whole flower AMerican hops, this India Pale Ale is anything but prim. But add a touch of Brettanomyces, the unruly beast responsible for the sharp tang and deep funk found in many Belgian ales, and our WildDevil emerges completely untamed. Floral, aromatic hops still leap format his amber ale, as a host of new fermentation flavor kicks up notes of citrus and pine. Enjoy yourself a glass today--if you dare."
This was my first bottle of the stuff, and it's as great as ever.
