3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle at the Eulogy Belgian Tavern in Philly. Hazy sunflower pour under a medium rocky white head. Spicy aroma of fresh cut grass. Crisp hoppy flavor but with an orange zest rather than grapefruit profile. No pine forest in this glass. Very dry finish. Not a traditional Belgian by any means and not a hop bomb either (though I had just finished a Stone Ruination before sampling this one).

bottle 330ml at Gallows Bird Espoo 080908 hazy dark yellow lacing Taste: very pleasant strong bitterness in malty and bit fruity ground. Perfume like. Ten years ago when I tasted first time this was too hoppy for my taste now just regular

Draft. Perhaps this was the inspiration for the barrage of hoppy Belgian-style ales in the US right now. Dark golden hazy pour with fizzy white head. Tons of bitter hops on top of a nice bit of Belgian yeast and malt to keep it balanced. A bit funky with resiny and citrusy hops. Some sweetness as well. Very good.

Dark blonde colour, Nice head and stacy top. One of the hoopiest falvour ever taste in my life. Bitter like this beers name. Amazingly good beer. You can feel bitterness even after some minutes such nice beer.

Pours pale/yellow in color, slightly cloudy with a small head. Smells of yeast, hops and malts. First sip is more bitter than hoppy. The malty backbone nicely compliments the strong hops. Strong yeasts also add to this beer’s intense flavor. A strong bitter with above average carbonation. A fine showing.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden/amber with a one finger white head that doesn’t stick around long. The nose on this is amazing. Spicy, grassy hops, honey, candi sugar, hints of a slight bretty funk, yeasty with some citrus. The flavor was a little backed off from the nose. Dry, honey malt flavor, spicy brett touch, grassy hops, and a long bitter finish. Quite lush in the mouth and drying finish.

(Dégusté avec french tickler) Une biere de couleur Or brumeux, avec un mince collet collant. Odeur d’orange, raisins vert, sel , épices,fine herbes et fleural. Gout de blé, sel, un peu épicés. Une biere tres développer au niveau arome, par contre moins convinquante niveau gout.
