Bridge Brewing Company Santa’s Sac Belgian Golden Strong Ale at 10% ABV | 30 IBU (2017 Craft Beer Advent Calendar #22, 355 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 20-Nov-2017, reviewed 22-Dec-2017)
Appearance: opaque deep gold with one finger of loose off-white head that retains poorly, no lacing. (2/5) Aroma: doughy yeast, stone fruit, floral. (7/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-full slightly slick body, moderate carbonation, sweetish medium duration warming finish. (4/5)
Butt ugly and really badly named. Certainly smells Belgian, but it’s certainly one of the less subtle versions of the style. (13/20)
6.5/10 #craftbeeradvent2017 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
