ABV: 5.7% IBU: 50 Ticks: 18
De Puitenkop is an ale of 5.6%. It is amber and is more than 50 EBU, which makes it extra bitter. The dry hopping adds an extra aroma to this. The name Puitenkop refers to the Waasland dialect for frog and also symbolizes the hoppiness of the beer. If you are not a fan of a bitter taste, you will pull a face like a frog when drinking.

Flaska från belgiuminabox. Bärnstensfärgad, riktigt högt skum som ganska snabbt lägger sig, mycket sediment i sista tredjedelen. Anar början av en infektion i både utseende och doft men den har inte gått för långt. Rejält besk, blodapelsin med skal, bitter marmelad, gräs, aprikos, gula plommon. Jästbottensatsen gör det riktigt beskt utan den mer fruktigt. Lite utmanande och kanske inte helt ren men ändå helt ok.

33cl bottle. Pours slightly hazy orange golden colour with a huge most good lasting off-white head. Aroma of bitter hops, some fruits, spices. Taste of bitter floral hops, green tea, pale malt, a bit high carbonation, okay!

Hazy amber with big soapy head. Aroma is very yeasty and has quite a lot of floral hop too. Very strong carbonation. Flavour is quite yeasty and very sour. Possibly something went wrong with this one.

Puiten kop. Bottle @ home. Hazy orange color, average to medium sized off-white head. Some yeast residu floating in there. Aroma is lightly malts, lightly hops, a hint of strawberry jam. Taste malts, a hint of fruitpeel tart, some kind of (Dutch) "wrang" bitter. Decent body and carbonation.

Apparently (for now) the last of the Paenhuys beers I hadn’t tasted yet. Conceived as a ’typical ale’, with warm orange blonde colour, clear with calm fizz yet brownish amber with deposit (with a dark chunk of proteins at the bottom), under a ’natural’, moussy, crackling, egg-white, fairly loose head retaining around the edges and leaving a thin and discontinuous veil over the liquid. Sweet estery and malty aroma of papaja, pineapple slices in syrup, sweet honey, bell peppers, hazelnuts, caramel, toasted bread, raw red cabbage (no DMS this time), rose petals, hint of pine resin, orange peel, banana, freshly grated ginger, faint hint of chicken broth, unsmoked cigarette tobacco and even some ’menure’ but in a ’good’, countryside kind of way, not disturbing. Crisp, fruity onset, peach, banana and redcurrant, with some hop bitterishness already creeping in; medium carbo, smooth and slick mouthfeel, bit minerally; toasted malts dominate the rest of the palate, caramelly and nutty, bittersweet, with increasing bitterness in the end, leafy, earthy, a bit peppery and drying, with quite long duration; some of the nutty malts peep through as well, but the earthy hop bitterness is the last flavour that remains. No real off-flavours here, quite straightforward but technically well done and certainly quenching; this is a rustic, well-balanced session ale. I am not going to debate about style, but: I admit this has certain similarities with a bottled English bitter, but doesn’t that go for all ’spéciales belges’? I’d rather still see it as a Belgian ale, in the session amber substyle, if any. Smells Belgian, tastes very Belgian... Not that this is a bad thing, of course. Enjoyed it, and this is not because I would want to favorize this brewery, which is located ten-odd miles from where I live: this is a beer which has been taken care of during and after the brewing process, too bad it is not more widely available in this Waasland region.

In Leuven at the ZBF. Pours hazy coppery color with a thin and tick white head. Nose of citrus, tropical fruits and grass. Mouth: good carbonation, perfectly balanced. The end offers some interesting notes of wood barrel. Thumbs up! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
