Greetings

Dallas has few diversions other than eating, drinking and shopping.....and shopping does not interest us.
So we spend our time hopping from restaurant to restaurant and to every pub that we can find in search of the perfect meal and the perfect beer.

We randomly review restaurants and bars, dishes and beers at whim and give our brutally honest opinions of our findings. And while we concentrate on Dallas, we travel far and wide to sample cuisine from all regions of the country and beyond.

Beer Review - Biere du Boucanier Red

Brouwerij Van Steenberge N.V. Biere Du Boucanier Red Belgian Pale Ale - 7% ABV

How about some Halloween themed beers for review, eh?  At least I will try to get a couple of reviews in before they start ramming Christmas down our throats, because once they release the Winter ales all is lost.

Brouwerij Van Steenberge (the geniuses that brought you Gulden Draak) have produce another stunning beer for you to try, yet this beer is really quite different that your typical Belgian ale.  The beer pours copper/orangish color with very little head. I must admit that I was kind of expecting a bit more red.  The smell is fruity, malty and with a bit of spice.  The flavor was tart fruit with honey and maybe with a hint of grapes in the background.  The part of the flavor that surprised me was that it had a good bit of hops and was more dry than sweet.  All in all it was quite light and refreshing, quite an easy drink.  I will definitely drink this one again.
