Alvinne Extra Restyled

This afternoon at the brewery with the brewers self: Davy and Glenn, THX. Tasted again @ home now. Bottle, 33 cl. Hazy dark golden to amber color, with great creamy, partition sticking head. Aroma very fruity nose, good hops, bit yeast and little flowery. Medium to full body. Taste going a bit to the Gaspar, but there’s a great difference. This restyled version is more bitterness (good !) than the early Extra. Dry bitterness, good in balance, nice hops. Good bitterness finish. Very good beer !

On tap at ZBF 08. Hazy darkgolden ale, white head. Aroma very hoppy, fruity. Medio to full bodied. Nice good drinkable, yeast, hops, bitterness. TOP.

33 cl bottle. Slightly hazy bright orange-golden beer with a massive (massive) rocky white head. It took me a solid 15 minutes to pour this guy. Aroma is very inviting though. Rich yeasty spiciness with lots of clove, pepper, and herbal aromas mixing with the fruity/citrusy hop aroma. Bright light mintiness with lots of candyish/fruity esters. It’s not as obviously hoppy as something like Houblon Chouffe, but there is plenty of hop aroma and bitterness to bring it into IPA territory. Zesty and perfumy with a lovely citrus and spice hoppiness that accents the crackery base malts and the rich yeastiness perfectly. Very tasty.

Very hazy golden beer, with a seriously frothy head that continues to grow after the pour - bright and fruity aroma of orange, mango, pear - strong earthy hops in the nose - belgian sugar sweetness mingles well with the fruit character - full but soft in the mouth - really powerful hop bitterness and strong herbal character - the character imparted by the belgian yeast takes a back seat, but adds some fruitiness and light phenolic character that combines really well with the hops and herbal notes - tastes like a really hoppy saison because of this - super tasty.

Gold colored beer with a white head. Nice hoparoma’s. Tastes nicely btter with notes of citrus.
