2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Spritzy gold pour spiralling bubbles. Aroma fibrous, woody and solidly coniferous, with teaspoons of marmalade, malt nuttiness and rubber..a bit weird. Creamy thick m/f at the strength. Tastes like Leffe Blonde to begin with- vaguely spicy, yeasty and papery, with an added punch of hop dryness to finish. Wheaty aftertaste, maybe coriander. And sawdust. And then you tip the sediment in.....hop bitterness ratcheting up a few levels, to the point of astringency....powerfully piney aroma. Bitter citrus and squeaky teeth like you’ve vomited. Rusty tin, paracetemol, and alcohol. Just because a beer is intensely bitter doesn’t mean it’s hoppy. Really not convinced.....

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Poured a golden tan color, small head dissipated. Aroma was kind of grassy, or herbs, or old hops. Luckily the taste was better. Medium light sweetness, light bitter. Light bodied, decent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Small bitter finish. This has some hop character to it, just not great hop flavor. This beer was not doing it for me.

Colore ambrato, poco torbido. Al naso appare fruttata con lievi sentori di agrumi. In bocca prendono piede prepotentemente luppolo e malto. Birra ben bilanciata.
