3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
bouteille 33cl, bottled 30-03-2012
Dorée-orangée donnant un trouble vers la mi-bouteille, col blanc épais.
Arôme est houblonné fleuri suivi par un bouquet agréable donné ici par la levure. Le tout reste assez neutre dans l’usage du houblon et un léger parfum de foin.
Palais est houblonné typique, sec, grains et terreux.
Fin de bouche laisse apparaître une certaine note levure. Le tout couplé par un houblonné fleuri voire citronné rappelant un houblonnage à cru. Une note épicée se distingue en fin de bouche provenant probablement de la levure et grains.

Little cloudy light orange beer, big creamy white head, pretty stable, adhesive, nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very fruity, some citrus, ripe melons, sweet, bit sugary, some overripe banana, exotic fruit cocktail. MF: ok carbon, full body. Taste: fruity start, some forest fruits, strawberry jam, pretty bitter. Aftertaste: bitter and hoppy, citrus, forest fruits, more bitterness. Really good stuff!

330ml bottle. Hazy golden colour with average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Hoppy aroma has a herbal touch, cautious hints of grapefruit, tangerine, also a touch of garlic. Taste is minimally bitter herbal hoppy, minimally citrusy, the strange garlic note is present again - I’m note sure if this is intended.

Strongly hopped nose with citrus, figs and an underlying continental vineousness. Flavour is staunchly bitter with spicy notes and some grapefruit and spruce. Finish is sharp, long and dry. Very nice.

Lightly drying on the finish with a bit of dried hay bitterness and still more lightly bready pale malts. Very simple.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Kris Wines. Light golden colour, thin white head. Hoppy aroma with a hint of yeast. More of a hoppy Belgian than an IPA I’d say, mouthfeel has a bit of yeasty spice, but main character is quite aggressive hop bitterness, some citrus, hint of floral, long bitter finish. Tasty but didn’t quite fit together as a beer.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Aroma: floral with hints of bbq sauce
Appearance: light gold, not quite lager colored, but close
Taste: clean, fresh, and balanced
Palate: full bodied and creamy
A very nice beer. Starts slow and then brings the hops. Ends with a bit of a charred after, taste.
