"Fiery" as in gushing to mounds of white head over hazed orange-yellow beer. Citrussy, and absolutely Brett or Pedio-like aromas. Lemoncookies. On purpose or infected? Bitterish, bit like citrusmould; again barnyard-like flavours, but with a spiced, bitterish streak, the acidity remaining in the background. There’s signs aplenty of Pedio/Brett infection. Rather light body and of course very carbonated, fizzy. DijkWaert has absolutely to clean their act - and their beer. Another gusher, another infected brew. Yet, I get the impression they have good ideas. Just a bit more care, please.

Bottle from 2010. Clear yellow coloured beer with almost no carbonation and a small white head. Light refreshing hoppy sweet and sour balanced hinted aroma. Medium palate. Finish is light hoppy and bitter hinted. Medium.

14/08/2011 on tap @ Internationaal Streekbierenfestival Zwevegem (2011-394)

Cloudy yellow beer, solid aery white head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: yeast, citrus, some exotic fruits, pretty sour, hops. MF: ok carbon, light to medium body. Taste: very cheesy, citrus, some malts, more citrus, yeast. Aftertaste: sour and yeast, not really good.

Total gusher with amateuristic label. Once the geiser calmed down, the beer itself was rather nice, with an aroma that reminded me of matches, in a good way. To be compared with lupulus (blond, dense white foam) but by far not as good as that one...

Yesterday taste @ Bles Zottegem. From bottle 75 cl. What’s happening with this brew ? Bit hazy golden color, with big white head. Aroma sour, malts, infected, and fruits. Medium bodyt. Taste sweet, bitter touch, but really infected.

A little hazy yellow/golden beer, with a big white head with big bubbles. The aroma some sour, malts and fruits. The taste is some sweet, sparkling, with hints of vanilla, less bitter. The aftertaste is sweet.

Little hazy coloured beer with medium white head and no carbonation visible. Bit hoppy and sweet aroma. Medium bit sparkling palate. Finish is hoppy bitter though with a sight bitter touch. Nice one.
