7/II/2012 33cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent) @ home - BB: n/a, brewed: 15/X/11 (2012-113)

Cloudy muddy beige beer, creamy stable off-white head, bit adhesive. Aroma: lots of citrus, spices, coriander, hay, dust. MF: good carbon, medium to full body. Taste: malty start, little sweet, tobacco, bitter, flowers, spices, floral hoppiness, little fruity. Aftertaste: fruity bitterness, citrus, quite some grapefruit, very bitter and dry ending. Nicely done!

Bottle at Vilvordia. Cloudy yellow color, small white edge head. Aroma of grapefruit, straw, hay. Taste is bitter lemon, bread. Nice.

33cl bottle courtesy of sebletitje, cool a Brussels brewed beer, pouring up slightly hazy deep gold with copper hues and tall near white head. The aroma is on the nose-prickly side with some yeast and some yeasty spice and then picking up tart citrus notes and pineapple. The taste has a fresh bright yeasty spiciness as well as lemon to lime and toward sort of a peach note or two. It has a little tartness as well and finishes crisp and refreshing but not light on flavor. Nice stuff.

~14 oz draft pour in a Lost Abbey tulip type glass at Proletariat in New York. The pour is a lightly hazed golden yellow, with a one inch white head that falls with nice coating lace. The aroma is grass hay earth, with a nice mineral edge. Overall, leafy is the best descriptor of the nose I can come up with. The taste is the same leafy dry grass straw of the nose, crisp cracker malt and the mineral in the finish. The palate is light bodied, with bright active carbonation, and a super crisp clean dry leafy mineral finish. Delicate, delicious.

Rye beer nice cereal taste with bitterness. Short in mouth but verry refreshing beer. To drink with sun.
