Description
Warm, dry, estery. Possibly the most clever beer in RBCo’s lineup, Avarice & Greed walks a fine line being both supremely drinkable and high octane. Premium pilsen malt and Belgian yeast are balanced with just enough hops for an aroma and taste that goes down deceptively easy.

Avarice & Greed by Roadhouse Brewing Co. is a wonderful Belgian Golden Ale and is being judged as such according to BJCP Catergory 25C. This beer was malty and sweet with a big fruity, pear-like ester, low Belgian spicy phenolics and lots of soft, easy alcohol, which all follow thru to the flavor. It presented itself as golden with a white head, fine bubbles and lacing but was quite hazy. There is plenty of alcohol in this beer but it is well-hidden and smooth. This would go great with most spicy foods or something like lasagna. Extremely great-drinking beer. No hop presence throughout other than to balance the malt.
