Mystery beer
I have to confess, one of the beers I drank at the Wrought Iron Grill in Owosso, MI had such great flavor and nuance to it that I've wondered--"What was that beer I drank?" The bartender said the name so fast I never really caught it, although it sounded unpronounceable.
I thought I might be Bell's Oberon, the one name I could remember. But when I tried one on tap at a local pub, it definitely was not it.
Still wondering about it, I called the Grill in Michigan and asked them what they had on tap a month ago...."A red ale, a summer wheat, Bell's Wheat, Bell's Oberon"... and "Dragonmead Final Absolution" Ah ha! That might be it!
From their website:
"Final Absolution Belgian Style Trippel
Dragonmead's signature product! This is the ultimate Belgian style. The very high gravity of this beer is balanced by the smoothness of its finish. Banana and Clove aromas come from the Belgian yeast strain combining with the generous dose of Belgian Candi Sugar. The Saaz hops help to give this beer a balanced bitterness with no noticeable hop aroma. O.G. 1.085, ABV 8.5-10%"
Now to find it for a taste verification!
