bottle @ Gollem, Amsterdam. Hoppy aroma, amber color. hoppier than most Belgians. Belgian yeast flavor mixes well with hop bitterness. Nice offering

Bottled @ Cafe Belgique, Amsterdam. A red beer with a small white head. Aroma is fruity and flowery. Taste is malty and sweet. Nice flowery hops in the end.

Bottle. High fluffy but lasting off-white head. Haxy orange body. Grassy and hoppy aroma with a hint of nuts. Fruity (mainly oranges) well catbonated and hoppy flavor. Long bitter hops aftertaste.

330. Thanks, TheWolf! I think I may be starting to get this funk thing. Slowly. And this beer is available in Seattle now, at least occasionally, so maybe I’m just taking baby steps, but I am kind of liking this beer. Pours hazy coppery dark amber with a thick platinum blonde head, lots of lace. Big funky nose: sour cherries, foot, basement, horse blanket. Clearly some widely variegated spontaneous fermentation happening, albeit down the road a piece from the Belgian originals. Fizzy carb, medium body, lots of dank heavy funk all over the mid-palate. This one isn’t actually a whole lot easier to take than the seriously funkified lambics, but it’s juuuust sweeter/softer enough to hit me where I want to be hit and it’s a pleasure to drink. A gateway funk, perhaps.

smells very hoppy, almost like an IPA. golden brown with big head. after tasting it its still bitter hoppy with a few sweet caramel hints.
