I have to be honest here...I don't often look up a brewer after drinking a beer unless it's really exceptional and this stuff is. To boot it's a Belgian Double in a can! Imagine the audacity of that! Blasphemy some might say. That is... until they poured out this bleeding fragrant and flagrant treat into their supping glass and discovered a real wonder. Of course I should have read the can to see that a pint glass wasn't quite the proper glassware for what I thought was a pale ale but that's me in a nutshell, people: sloppy and ignorant. Anyway, this reminds me a lot of my favorite brewer Jolly Pumpkin in many regards of quality, feel and taste, but just a little less carbonated. The yeoman yeast makes up for that though and this creamy and nicely spiced brew goes a long way towards impressing both the slovenly and the enlightened. What would impress me more is a free care package via the US mail system featuring anything these guys could pump into a vessel. Thanks to Jay over at HBJ for this beauty.
