norse gods...

So it turns out there's another microbrewery in the area, although outside of the city.  We ran across their stand at a farmer's market and took a card...

...and a bottle of each of their brewed products.  I begin with Odin, 'cause he's the top god, so it just seems right.  The name is put to a Belgian ale.

It gives off a sour citrusy smell when the bottle is opened, which is quite pleasant and appetizing.  The beer comes out fizzy and bubbly, not too much head, and somewhat cloudy.  The cloudiness makes sense, it being unfiltered.  The thousands of bubbles flying to the top are a little mesmerizing, kind of like a lava lamp.  As it sits, the scent gets fruitier, but the taste is more bitter than you might expect from the way it smells.  It's a good, strong ale flavor.  After a few sips the aftertaste really starts to come out; I'd say it's a surprisingly smooth vanilla.  The beer gets sweeter and smoother as it warms, really an interesting brew.  If I was going to have snacks with it, I don't think I'd want anything with a powerful taste of its own.  The beer should be appreciated by itself, in my opinion.

Could that look any more like a classic beer?
