on THE TAPHANDLE

Spring Fever Belgian Grand Cru, a Belgian Ale by Snoqualmie Falls Brewing Company

22 ounce bottle, served in snifter, $2.56 per pint.

Words to describe the pour: clear, very bubbly, glorious orange-red body, finger thick ivory head.

Words to describe the aroma: fruity, berry, light citrus, bordering on candy, faint floral, spicy.

Words to describe the flavor: coriander, yeasty, banana, straw, hint of classic pink sticks of bubblegum that came in packages of trading cards.

The flavor sits high in the mouth, tickling the upper palate and the base of the nasal cavities. There is a light sweetness that ends moderately dry on the finish.

I like this quite a bit.
