Notes

This recipe came from hand-written brewday notes from a family friend. It was originally brewed by him in 1988. The EDME yeast he used is no longer available, and the Eroica bittering hops he used are actually extinct. I have substituted S-33 and Galena. Should be fun.

3 of 5

This beer was... interesting.

Appearance: Straw color, white head that disappeared more quickly than I expected. Nearly opaque. There was clearly a lot of residual yeast hanging around, impossible to determine therefor if it also had additional issues like chill or protein haze.

Aroma: All I smelled really was Belgian yeast and a little sweet malt. The yeast esters took the spotlight. Belgians are not my favorite so it was hard for me to get past that aroma to detect anything else

Flavor: sweet without being cloying, and deceptively light tasting for a beer that finished above 1022 at 7%abv. Again dominated by Belgian yeast esters. Very little hop bitterness or flavor.

Mouthfeel: Medium to medium full mouthfeel, but counter acted by the lightness of flavor.

Overall impression: I wasn't crazy about this beer at first taste, because I found the dominating flavor and aroma of this particular yeast a little unpleasant as well as just too strong in general. The lightness and smoothness of the flavor however (yeastiness aside) made it way too easy to drink A LOT of these, and I pretty quickly got intoxicated (7%!). Basically, if you're super drunk this is a pretty good beer.
