Review: Brewer's Art Ozzy Ale

Brewer's Art Ozzy Ale from Brewer's Art
Rating: A-

Handed a golden pour in a Brewer's Art chalice. Appealing white head, not "stiff peaks" like some in the style but nice. Some lacing, and decent head retention. Not a steady stream of bubbles coming up from the bottom of the glass, though, like Duvel.

Smell: Some candi sweetness and a Belgian yeast fruitiness..

Taste: Here we go... Sweet at the front, then you get some of the Styrian hops. Finishes on a fruity note, but the aftertaste is all dry hops, which pleases me.

Mouthfeel: Seemed to me like it could have benefited from a little more carbonation. Moderate body from the sweetness. Drinkability is good, but it seems a little "rich" to be a true sessioner.

Serving type: on-tap
