Cabin Brewing Company Chapter 5 – Belgian Golden Strong Ale at 10% ABV (C$24.85 at Collective, 750 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 16-Jan-2024, reviewed 21-Jan-2024)
Appearance: slightly hazy pale gold with one finger of fizzy white head diminishing rapidly to a thin ring, minimal spotty lacing. (3/5) Aroma: apple brandy, white grape, Belgian esters, oak. (7/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-lively carbonation, off-dry medium duration mildly warming finish. (4/5)
I mean, I don’t dislike this, but it’s pretty near the middle of the pack for my experience with both the style and the brewer. I found the aroma to be lacking in complexity and it tended a little sweet, even for the style. The finish was decent, and overall it was OK, but certainly not a world-class offering. (14/20)
This will be my 5,740th unique Untappd check-in.
