Huge, dense and fine white head, some lace, over hazy, well-carbonated lemonjuice-coloured beer. End of bottle releases a load of unsavoury looking UFO’s. Yeast, bread and oregan or marjoram. Smells for all the world like one of these Italian foccacias, with a dash of lemon. Forceful spicy-aromatic oregan flavour, including the bitterness this herb can indue, when used too liberally. Dry-spicy, but the wheat (I guess) and probably other ingredients make it refreshing, ever so slighlty sourish. I still get an impression of pizza where they forgot the tomato and mozzarella. Warming up, another herb comes forward: liquorice, but then really like when chewing a stick of sweetroot. Quite carbonated, very light body, I wonder about the claimed 6% ABV. Messieurs/dames This isn’t a beer with a flavour reminiscent of marjoram/oregan. Here, I bet the herb has been used indeed. If so, why not come clean about it on the label? And something else to consider, in the language of Herr Goethe: In der Beschränkung zeigt sich erst der Meister...

33cl bottle, BB 04/2014. Yet another ’gem’ from the ever increasing brand of more than avergage Bouillon beers. This one might be an ’étiquette’ version of the dozen or more beers that all taste the same.
Dorée claire, col blanc.
Arôme est fruité léger, houblonné sur pointe d’agrumes, style reste allemand avec ce profile Bouillon de par la levure. Nez sec et grains.
Palais est épicé, sur une présence notable de la levure. Le tout donne cette impression de déjà-vu. Palais est sec avec un côté épicé de coriandre sur une effervescence certaine. Brève note fleurie couplée à ce profile épicé, malt léger procurant une fine note grillée-poudreux en fin de bouche.
Pas mauvaise, mais on s’ennuie et toujours cette impression de boire les mêmes bières.

15/IX/2012 33cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent) @ home - BB: IV/14 (2012-1033)
Clear yellow beer, some small yellow sediment floating around, small irregular head, unstable, pretty adhesive. Aroma: oregano, wtf? More oregano. Man, it’s all I can smell. And I don’t like it too much. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: lots of oregano, some citrus, more oregano, little bitter. That’s it. Oh yeah, and oregano. Seriously. Drain pour!
