29/VIII/19 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home, BB: 25/VII/20 - (2019-1330)

Clear blond beer, creamy irregular dense off-white head, stable, bit adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: tropical fruits, nice, some citrus, bit malty, some onions, hint of grapefruit, sulphur, soapy. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty bitter, bit soapy, weird, is it them enzymes that taste so weird? Just not a big fan of most Brut IPA's. Hints of cucumber, dry, bit sourish. Aftertaste: malty, grains, hay, bitter, not very convincing. Weird.

29 June 2019. At Siphon 3d Birthday Party, Damme. Cheers to Anke, Erwin & Ama Deke! Clear pale golden with a lasting, thick, foamy, white head. Aroma of passionfruit, mandarin, lemon zest, pear, kiwi, yellow apple, cheese, some butter (diacetyl, especially when warming up). Taste is light fruity sweet & sour, notes of pear, passionfruit & mandarin on a slick honey-like, bready malty base, bitter touches of grass, apple peel, grapefruit, becoming more apparent in a dry, floral hoppy finish, lingering sourness of young mandarin, apple & lactic acid. Medium body, slick-creamy texture, soft carbonation. Slick, drinkable 'Brut' but a point off for the butter note.

Clear golden beer, finely carbonated to a just yellowish tinted small head. Cheesy, asafoetida hops' nose. Bit lactic, I'd say, parsley, citrus (lime, orangepeel). Again this strange cheesy, nearly insectoid flavour/aroma. Indeed dry character. Bit of pale malts, if very little sweetness. Not much going on. Dry, or put differently... empty (the maize?). Slick, wheatslick. This corners it. I've always considered Champagne the world's most overrated drink, and consistently disliked beers made in its image, brut. Here's no exception.
