Appearance: cloudy, almost opaque deep gold with a short, short-lived white head, no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: stone fruit, caramel, floral, spices. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter, mild peppery spice. (7/10) Medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry mild finish. (3/5)
When I opened this, I was thinking, “I haven’t had a good BPA for ages.” Unfortunately, I still haven’t… OK, OK, I’ll be nice. It’s actually not bad – in a lot of ways, it’s like a slightly beefier version of their Saison, although with more fruit emphasis relative to the spices. Again, though, I’m left slightly cold by it – it’s just not very clean or exciting. (13/20)
