22oz into a pint - note this is distinct from the other because of no barrel aging.

A - Pours a dark ruby color. Not very carbonated, little head formation or lacing. Fairly opaque, thick.

S - Very strong belgian yeast nose, lots of esters, bubble gum. Spicy and fruity. Pleasant.

T - Starts off smooth and sweet, lightly citrusy. Mid-stream brings on the same bubble gum esters, not overbearing in any way. Muted spiciness. Hopping nowhere around. No alcohol warmth. Finishes with a little bit of a dark fruit flavor, but way under the norm for a Quad.

M - Light carbonation, full bodied. Rather sticky, sugary - per the style. Alcohol warmth is fairly well hidden for the style.

O/D - A really easy drinking quad. ABV is up there, probably a sipper. Not overly filling - also great for the style. While overall this thing doesn't really have the in your face malt I would like, it results in a quaffable beer.

Serving type: on-tap
