Amber coloured beer with lots of carbonation and a large white head. Special fruity hoppy aroma with a full sprankling bitter palate. Finish is extreme bitter, with a more pleasant hoppy and light fruity (some citrus?). Dry bitter ending. Very good.

33cl bottle at home. Pours a nice dark blonde beer with white foam. Great lacing when you drink the beer. Aroma is very hoppy with some nice flower smell. Smell is very soft and smooth. Taste hoppy with a powerfull bitterness that stays for a long time. Medium body beer with a very dry aftertaste caused by the bitternes. Very nice brew.

This one has been interesting to taste. Lot of hop and a rather pleasant and complex way. I only wish it had a better palate.

Wow this is interesting. I really wonder what kind of yeast they used in this. Taste is bitter, salty, sour, dry. My initial impressions are a distinct bitterness of pine and citrus, followed by a yeasty sourness, hay, and biscuit dryness. More fruity flavors of the hops come out in the second and third tastes, as does more lemony sourness with a pervading dryness. I could drink the shit out of this beer. Aroma is caramel apples, pine and citrus hops, a bit of cider and yeastiness. Cidery and piney as I drink more with fruity hoppiness coming out more, and a touch of bubblegum Still dry and pleasant. Enjoyable.

Bottle poured by Urbain at Struise. Batch number 5. Collaboration of Alvinne & Struise, but with a Chicago-tweaking of the hops marathon. Bright orange with a thick white head and delicate lacing. Floral hops aroma. Flavor starts with malt and progresses to a light bitterness. Light body for the style. Decent early evening brew.
