Another in the Belg-a-Rama #6 line-up, Biere de L'amitie. We're all friends here, after all, aren't we? This is the one I'd never had before. The others remaining are long time favorites.
Biere de L'Amitie, collaboration between St. Feuillien and California's Green Flash. Belgian strong golden ale, using rye and wheat malt, and American Amarillo hops in the end. A blend of Belgian tradition and American innovation. Straw golden color, effervescent, yeasty, hoppy Belgian ale.
Brilliant golden color, lightly hazy, lovely, lace leaving ivory head.
Zesty, bright aromatics, citrus and spice, lemon and pepper. Clean, fruity, hoppy, and beautiful.
Taste: smooth and gentle, yet dominated by lean, bready malt and crisp, bitter hoppiness. Hangs long on the palate, leaves a tidy bitter trail along, with bright lemon and lime flavors. Up comes pineapple and pear. It leaves slowly and gracefully. Sweet fruit flavors keep step with grassy, bitter hoppy edge all the way.
I recommend this for golden ale devotees and hop heads alike. May both factions come together over this fine ale.
