Bottle: Pours a light orangey-gold ale in the tulip with a decent 2 finger frothy cap that lasts well. weak lacing, spritzy carbonation. Aroma not unlike a light De Konik with sweet confectioner’s sugars, some spice and underlying herbaceous tones like sweet yams... lightly musty. Light body, weak malt spine, mushy mouthfeel. Wow how to describe this one and not get killed by Belgian fans?...well it is thin bodied and up front you can taste brewer’s sugars over any malts then a sour off taste midway though you get a flood of interesting flavours yams, spiced turnip some pumpkin mush...finish is wet and punctuated with the classic Belgian brewer’s sugar and an odd sourness. This is a revelation to me...I suspect many abby and Belgian ale brewers are using vegital sugars...because they sure as hell taste similar to this carrit ale in that respect. Not a bad ale but not a good one either...the tastes just don’t gel.

Bottle: Poured a clear golden color ale with a nice pure white foamy head with pretty good retention. Aroma can only be described as foul with a weird vegetable soup component that does fit in a beer. This beer taste like a standard pale ale but with added vegetable, which again don’t really match what I expect in a beer.

Poured a hazy golden color, with a small white head that left spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of tropical fruits, citrus, and subtle carrot notes. Taste was sweet and spicy, a little bland, light hoppiness and finishing with that trademark carrot character.

Holy smokes... a vegetable beer ! I like fruit beers, I like spiced beers.... but a vegetable beer ?? Pours a slight cloudy golden-amber colour with a decent foam head. Not much lace. At first, the scent of malt and yeast comes up. After breathing, a mild wax-carrot smells is there, with hints of sweet malt. The mouthfeel and taste is definitly very waxy mixed in with unsweetened coconut. Kind of weird. Very not use to this. I think I will stick to V8 Splash juices.
