Your assessment agrees with mine erock…I am leaning that direction…
Thanx
Not so sour but more reminiscent of old almost stale orange peels… :-\
I’ve dry hopped brett beers with Belma and really liked the result. It isn’t an overwhelming dry hop character but it creates a very interesting set of flavors. I’d say dry hopping brett beers is the single best way to use Belma.
What would you imagine 2/3 belma and 1/3 amarillo mix would yeild??
Deliciousness.
I have managed to sneak a taste of this brew. Still get the rancid orange peel note
not sure what to say of the stuff. UNKNOWN and UNFAMILIAR flavors and tastes.
Definately a flavor party on the palate. I have sipped about 3-4 oz of this and
well here goes nuttin…fresh earthy aroma then amarillo comes after that. Pours a
big white head and the golden liquid is somewhat hazy from the dry hopping. It was
clear prior to the addition of hops. No belma comes thru that I can tell. first touch
at the tongue is that peeling note then it kind of goes indescribable toward mangoish
pineappleish a touch of malt shows up. Mouthfeel is light and crisp not lacking. Long
finish is of bitter amarillo. Its gonna take a few more sensory adventures with this
to get more of a description…just really unfamiliar flavors…not bad, but different.
