33cl, from De Bierloods Adegem, not complex brew, not balanced, hazy, good head, nothing special

Cheapie from a night shop in Brugge. Straw coloured, spiralling with fizz, beneath a dense white cap of foam. Surprisingly lagery aroma with lightly toasted pale malts; a restrained, melon and lemon curd-like fruitiness, hints of Brie. Light and botanical with lime zest and mustard hints giving way to warming alcohol, slight rubber; a pale, champagne-like toastiness. Spritzy, light bodied at the ABV. Better than expected.

Hefiger, am Hopfen orientierter Antrunk, in dem sich der Alkoholgehalt durchaus bemerkbar macht. Die nun süßere Hefigkeit beinhaltet Kräuternoten, die sich aber zurückhalten und insgesamt wenig präsent erscheinen. Dies wird vor allem deutlich, als eine wirklich minimale Herbe aufkommt, die aber schon reicht, um die Kräutertöne zu verbergen. Würzig hopfiger Ausklang, der Alkohol zeigt sich verwundelricherweise nicht mehr. Etwas trocken holzig. Ein in Teilen oberflächliches Tripel. 9/9/8/9/7/8
