I will give Full Sail some serious credit for a cool name - Vesuvius has a lot of "uumph" behind it...not just liquid hot "magma". The Full Sail Vesuvius Belgian Style Golden Ale comes in a 22 oz bomber, which is priced at a bargin at $3.99. I've been on a dark beer kick lately, so having something more on the lighter end of the spectrum was very welcome.
Appearance - light white head, bubbly, golden, slight cloudiness, very little lacing - 3.5
Smell - definitely belgian; coriander, lemon, sweet and a bit funky - 2.5
Taste - Oddly mellow, malt is the high point and the belgian spices are pretty subdued. Tart apple, clove and banana flavors, but pretty mild. - 3.5
Feel - a bit syrupy, good mellow mouth coating, sweeter finish actually like how it feels. - 4.0
Drinkability - for $3.99, it sure wasn't bad. Maybe not a regular brew, but something I would have again if offered - 3.5
