3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: DEC 15, 2009 Bottled at Belgobaren, Stockholm. Cloudy golden, small head. Rich hoppy grapefruit aroma. Dry and fairly light bodied. Minerally with slight almondy yeast character. Freshly hoppy with grapefruit and seville orange marmlade. Finishes with medium bitterness. Belgian style yeast and attentuation and Amercan style hops is a winning concept! This is good, and very drinkable.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draught at ZBF 2009.
Hazy yellow coloured with a medium sized white head.
Fruity aroma of yeast with notes of hay and spices.
Fruity flavour of wallonian barnyard, yeast and hops.
Hoppy and spicy finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle, 6.5%. Subtle teaish hop aroma. Clear dark golden colour. Big stable white head. The flavour is rather hoppy, like a grassy hoppy pils. Hint of fruit, soft fruits with a faint hint of citrus. From the hops or yeast, it is hard to tell. Still very clean. Good clean bitterness in the finish, along with a little dust. Well-balanced. Perhaps too clean for the style, if that is possible.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
The bottle was leaking a deciliter in my baggage, so I have to open it without letting it rest a few days
It pours a cloudy deep blond color, with little head but nice lace. The aroma is light, cheesy and yeasty. It has a spicy flavor, the body is strong enough, but the yeast is probably too much, changing also the bitterness profile. Too bad for the accident; I expected more…
