Biere du Boucanier -- Golden Ale

Biere du Boucanier makes a couple of different varieties. This one is the Golden Ale, and is as strong as a Belgian Tripel.
11% ABV

Review:
Appearance: Light gold color with a very white but thin head. 
Aroma: Belgian yeast phenolic notes. Both sweet and spicy.
Taste: Quite tangy with sweet and sour Belgian flavor. VERY Belgian!
Mouthfeel / finish: Effervescent... sweet... bite on tongue lasts for a while. There is a touch of alcohol warmth in throat.

(Side Note: Biere du Boucanier makes a couple of different varieties of beer.)

Overall:
This beer is a little rugged in the finish and is a bit warm. However, When the 11% alcohol is taken into consideration, it seems much more appropriate. Not too bad for a beer of this strength.

Grade: A for a beer of this strength. B for my personal taste.
Barrel Man says:
"Arrgh, she be 
a strong one!"
