Name: Vesuvius

Brewery: Full Sail Brewing
Overall Rating: B
Style: Belgian Golden Ale
Serving Style: 22oz
ABV: 8.2% ABV

IBU:24 Units

Aroma: subtle citrus with dominant belgian spices.

Appearance: golden hazey with a nice white head. Good head persistence and good carbonation throughout.

Flavor: Just like its aromas, you can pick out a subtle citrus with nice belgian spices.

Mouthfeel: Light to medium body, nice dry finish with nice lingering belgian spice flavors.

Enjoyability: Nice hearty beer for being a ‘light’ brew. Reminicent of Victory’s Golden Monkey, I find this brew very easy to drink and would take it over your typica “yellow fizzy” on a hot day… (too bad its cold and rainy outside). There are far too many belgian pales I would prefer, this was was just OKAY in my book. Dont take my word for it, try it for yourself..
