Review – Scaldis Noël

Scaldis Noël aka Bush De Noël brewed by Brasserie Dubuisson Frères sprl. 8.48 oz bottle poured into a New Belgium glass. 12% abv. Purchased at Whole Foods Market Arroyo in Pasadena, CA.

Appearance: Cloudy dark tan body with a 1/4 inch dense ring around the top.

Aroma: Vanilla, caramel, apple, and alcohol.

Taste: Vanilla, booze, spicy hops, tart apple, and green pear.

Mouthfeel: Warm, spicy, and sticky.

Overall: I am happy with the packaging, I’m impressed with the warms and flavors.  In snooping around on Google, I have found this beer is, in my opinion, underrated.  Known as Scaldis rather than Bush, so that dumb people don’t have market confusion with Anheuser Busch and the oh-so-tasty, and ever delicious Busch Beer.
