Lucifer Belgian Golden Ale

I've noticed religious imagery is a fairly common element in a great deal of belgian/belgian-style beers. Whether it be the trappist monks who brew or the demonic images on a bottle of Maudite,christianity is a fairly strong theme. Lucifer is obviously no exception. It was indeed the theme that caught my attention, and it's the taste that will make me keep on sinning.

This cloudy,golden ale has a thick white head that kept for a pretty mid-range period of time. The word "fruity" was the first one that popped in my head upon inhalation. That same word was also prevalent in the complex sweet taste I have found in quite a few belgians. When I say sweet, I mean that with a "very" in front. Very with a capital V. It had a whiskey-like quality to it,especially in the aftertaste,which lingers on long after the beer is finished.

If Lucifer is indeed evil, I don't ever wanna be good.
