We're back to our Friday beer tasting after taking a couple of weeks off through the peak holiday season. Joey and Pat are your co-hosts for the evening and they've selected a local beer to show. It's only one but it is a good one. New England Brewery's 668 "neighbor of the best" Belgian strong ale is the selection and we'll be tasting it until 7pm so if you are so inclined we think you'll like it.
Here are the review and stats:
one big sip and this is flavor city my friends. Tons of spiciness from the Belgian yeasties, a nice chunk of orange and lemon citrus as well as some vanilla and cinnamon flavors. Extremely soft on the palate and a little sharp and dry in the finish. This has some tripel-esque characteristics, especially at 9%. The tangy sweetness really sets this apart from its Belgian counterparts. Its so fresh and so drinkable. I blame the American hops or maybe its my close proximity to the brewery. Whatever the case this is some amazing stuff.
4pk can is $12.29
