Default Furthermore Fatty Boombalatty

We've pointed our more than several times that the majority of
American brewers have brewed Belgian-style ale(s) or are at least
influenced by the Belgian beer culture. Some beer geeks may not want
to admit it but the popularity for Belgian beer will surpass English
and German beer styles, if it has not already.

Furthermore Fatty Boombalatty, an interesting name to say the least.
Its more or less slang, and not too much of an endearing term, of
calling someone fat. So, the brewers must think this beer is fat or
should we just say big in a certain way. Described as an unfiltered
Belgian-style ale with a touch of wheat and plenty of hops.

More than enough foam off of a hard pour, the foam quickly drops down
to a wispy white lace, which leaves a few rings of trailing down the
glass. Cloudy, hell it looks like apricot puree. Spicy aroma with
additions of orange peel, nutty yeast and pear like fruity esters.
Good solid smoothness with a moderate body. Yeast and fruit dominate,
a graininess and a kiss of wheat flows throughout. Spicy middle to end
with a slight sharpness from the hops. Hint of lime and coriander.
Warming esters give off pear and faint peachy flavors. Finishes with a
medicinal herbal note that shadows the sweetness.

The only thing to really point out that would ever need to be pulled
back is the amount of yeast in this beer. Even decanting two thirds of
the beer brought on the opaque look so swirling in the rest made no
difference. All of the characteristics point right to Belgian White
Ale even with the bigger bitterness here. All said and done this is an
enjoyable Belgian-style ale with certainly more oomph (7.2% abv)
compared to the typical Belgian White Ale.
