I looked for a beer to go with my pizza and picked out this farmhouse ale. I've had it before but it's been a couple of years. It's from Birmingham so it's easily available. Curious as to my palate changing from 2 years ago. Don't remember it exploding out of the can and onto the table. Even after losing all that effervescence, the head stayed pretty darn high. After reading my review from before several times, I'm trying to find ways to disagree or evolve. I said before it's almost clear, now I would call it slightly hazy. So, here goes. Everything I said before was spot on. But, as to flavor, I only mentioned the "cloves in a fruity way". That's a bit general, it's a tropical fruit leaning toward a mixture of grapefruit and lemon. Tough to distinguish because the clove sits hard on top of it. But I'm fine with everything else in the review.

This Birmingham Brewery, Avondale, produces some good beer and this is their flagship, a farmhouse ale. Nice totally white head, died down by half quickly but is now sustaining. Almost clear primary yellow. There's not a lot of aroma, has a melon characteristic with traces of lemon. Texture is very gentle, clean leaving no residue in the mouth. That first sip brings the Belgian characteristic up front. Cloves in a fruity way. I normally don't care for cloves because they're usually presented in a much more powerful manner. But here it's combining effortlessly with somewhat tropical hops and during the finish it adds a mild peppery sensation to the tongue. This is very drinkable and none of the 7.2% alcohol is revealed. I both advise you to try it and be careful of that sneaky alcohol.
