Bottle sample @ 5de Brugs Bier festival.
Dorée/paille, col blanc épais.
Arôme est houblonné rappelant les foins, palais réchauffant malt caramel, houblon amer avec un fini restant plus axé sur le grain, le tout est doux au palais sur un côté houblonné bien fleuri. Un bon mélange et balance entre l’amertume très frais et cette douceur du malt qui est renforcé sur la fin par ce fini grain.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 77ships (990) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - FEB 5, 2012
75 cl. bottle sampled @ Bruges Beer Festival 2012: hazy golden with a creamy head, taste is rather mellowed out & slightly sweet upfront with the smell being more “hoppy” with a touch of herbal & grassy hops, still sweet Belgian yeast, fruity, touch sweet malt, hint honey-sweetness, field-like quality with the finish going to slightly bitter mellowed out fruity floral hops, slick, easy going, touch different but it has a nice mellowness to it, bitterness in finish is easy going as well
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 JorisPPattyn (6730) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - FEB 4, 2012
Good yellowish, dense head over hazed metallic-golden beer. Some hops, and rincing soap - probably the glass. Served very cold, hence little aromas. Outspoken fresh hops’ flavour, bit herbal and insectoid, but straight and honest. Sweet honeyish malts ever present. Medium bodied, quite slick. Very well-balanced, which is far from evident in this kind of beer. Good!
