Lupulin Libations

The name says it all.

Lupulin glands are the tiny little yellow pockets of goodness in a hop cone that contain some essential ingredients for aroma and flavor in beer.

A libation is an alcoholic beverage, and of course beer fits into that category.

Lupulin Libations is dedicated to everything beer. I offer you a chance to have an experience with beer through my organized tasting sessions.

Beer Brief #28 - Horny Devil

 
Brewery - AleSmith Brewing Company, San Diego, California

Beer - Horny Devil
Style - Belgian Strong Ale brewed with coriander
ABV - 11%

Color - Hazy orange with an off-white head
Aroma - Lemon, apricot, cotton candy, pear, white pepper
Flavor - Cotton candy, bubble gum, clementine citrus, honey, slightly tart apple, touch of alcohol, peppery spice
Verdict - The aroma on this brew is as good if not better than the flavor, and the flavor is quite tasty! Lots of fruit combining with some sugary goodness is balanced by some spice and a dry finish. If you like Belgian strong ales, be sure to hit this one.
