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.
