Bottle from Etre Gourmet. Pale hazy brown beer with a small offwhite head. Malty, dried dark fruits aroma. Fruity, malty and hoppy flavour.

Bottle from Etre Gourmet. Hazy deep golden beer with a small but lasting offwhite head. Malty aroma, a bit roasted, toffee notes, some rubber, grapes, some citrus. Somewhat citrid hop flavor, grapes, grapefruit, perfume notes, pine needles, bready, caramel notes. Actually quite nice to be an IPA far from fresh. Metallic notes, floral and a bit herbal. Hoppy finish with caramel and some spicy notes. Better than I thought it would be.

Tasted Blind at a tasting party in Gent

A - no head. Little layer of bubbles. Dark yellow / light brown. SRM of 10

S - big caramel and roasted pistachio. Huge honey and then candy corns. Slight vanilla. Cheese

T - Taste is pretty different. Old hops. Hop profile is sort of gone. candy corns reminds me of the old urthel hop it I had but one that was long past it’s prime.

M - 50/50 carbonation. Medium body. Terrible faded hop after taste.

O - 60/100. Okay smell bad taste. Okay appearance. "I think it’s a barley wine. Nope. It’s a Dutch IPA a year old"

Bottle. Almost clear, golden in color and with a small, off-white head. The aroma is citrusy and piney, with a little maltyness in the back. The flavor has a nice bitterness, supported by pine cones, citrus peel and some peaches. Malt flavors are present, but left in the back. Full-bodied and nicely carbonated. A fine bitterness in the end. A quite lovely beer, especially flavor wise. 110916

Looks great, cloudy orange brown, if it wasn’t (again) for the lack of head. Smell is caramel hops. Taste is some caramel sweetness and nice hop bitterness. Fairly full-bodied, and fairly low carbonation. It’s ok, but not really my beer, don’t know why exactly...

Murky amber colored pour. Small off-white head. No lacing. Malty aroma with hints of sugar and cereal. Tastes of malt, cereal, bread. Dry and sweet. Pretty good.
