Saint Landelin La Divine
750 ml swing-top bottle, best by 5/28/09. Poured into a Duvel Tulip. Tall white head that leaves a thin wispy lacing. Color is a deep copper orange with good clarity. The nucleation site of the glass kicks off a solid stream of bubbles. Smell is a dry musty yeast, with a mix of dried apples and apricots. Taste has a very toasty malt body, with some mildly sweet fruit esters. Mouthfeel is light and very dry. The carbonation gives a creamy texture. An interesting selection indeed.
