33cl can à Belgian Summer Beer Gathering, merci Klaas.
BB 12/2028.
Dorée, léger pale, col blanc.
Sour plaisante avec une grosse présence tropicale au niveau des houblons – mangue en dominance mais avec un fini effervescent assez modéré voire faible.

Totem's newest to date, a sour IPA at a firm ABV, tasted in 'avant-première' from a sample generously offered by the brewer himself at my place. Thin, loosely structured, open, egg-white, bubbly head - the beer was still so young that it had not reached its full carbon dioxide saturation levels yet; cloudy warm peach blonde with salmon-pinkish tinge. Aroma of ripe Cantaloupe, mangosteen, Doyenné pear, guava, overripe kiwi, mango chutney, hints of rhubarb stew, dough, blood orange. Very juicy onset, ripe strawberry- and guava-like flavours mingling with peach, melon and mango, softish carb (again this will likely sharpen in time) with full-ish, smooth mouthfeel, feeling thinner than a beer of this strength normally would. Smooth soft-doughy core gently dried by an unripe orange-, lemon yoghurt- and lime juice-like, elegant and colourful sourness, balanced with 'virtual' sweetness - or better put, seemingly balanced by the sweet aromas of melon, guava, strawberry and mango provided by the hops, which also establish a pomelo-tinged citric bitter touch in the end - mellow enough not to interfere too much with the fruity sourness and juiciness, and at the same time clear enough to remind me that this concoction is still intended as an IPA (a personal thing - I am well aware that many hazy IPAs these days lack hop bitterness intentionally). Ends with a colourful play of radiant fruitiness and utterly juicy sweet-sourness, in which the alcohol remains perfectly hidden - 'high drinkability' is one of this new creation's foremost features, one could say. Deliciously paying tribute to Totem's skills in the field of innovative globally oriented craft brewing, this is again a superb brew, I cannot wait to revisit it again when it hits the market in canned form (which should not take long anymore now).

13 September 2025. At 17de Brugs Bierfestival. Cheers to the whole crew!
Apricot, plum, mango, guava, blood orange. Sour apricot, guava, lime, jam-like maltiness, sweetish mango. Tart stone fruit, bitter piney & grapefruity hops. Perfectly balanced, Totem strikes again.
