Antigoon is a hoppy wheat IPA. The beer is slightly cloudy, pale blond and has an alcohol content of 6%. The typical fullness of wheat beers is combined with a mild bitterness. The aroma is spicy / hoppy due to the combination of the typical wheat aroma and the floral citrus character of the hops used.

Commissioned beer referring to the Antwerp legend of the giant Antigoon. Lightly hazy, tad peachy ’old gold’ colour with thick, dense, moussy, egg-white head. Aroma of gooseberries, freshly cut nettles, cucumber, bread dough, field flowers, green apple, biscuit, unripe pineapple, white pepper, peach, some bubblegum, some honey, some sweaty grains; in warming up, the better aspects of the aroma, in the form of sweetish fruits and very floral hops, begin to dominate. Crisp, spritzy onset of green and sourish fruits, apple, white grape, redcurrant, with a honeyish sweetness underneath, fizzy carbo, light and supple mouthfeel, lemon peel accent for freshness, lightly bready malts, lean and sweetish, ending in a yeasty-bready-earthy and florally hop bittering finish, a bit spicy and resiny, quenching and balancing, with some lingering malt sweetishness though the hop bitterness remains longer. Crisp, not unpleasant blonde, nothing out of the ordinary by any means but enjoyable, with not too many flaws and good balance between dry and sweet, though admittedly I expected a bit more from it since it’s Musketeers...

Gekocht in de Prik en Tik te Arendonk op 27/03/2015. Antigoon is een helder blond biertje dat wazig wordt als je de gist ook uitschenkt. Het vele schuim is wit en gelijkmatig gevormd, het verdwijnt helaas zeer vlug. Toch veel pareling te zien. De geur is zoetig, licht putteke, kardemom , als het glas bijna leeg is ruikt hij sterk zoet. De smaak is licht zoet en de nasmaak is licht bitter. De nasmaak duurt maar kort met een lichte harmonische bitterheid. In de mond is Antigoon licht prikkelend en een weinig droog, een zeer lichte alcoholwarmte kan je ook proeven. Antigoon is een volmondig biertje. Meer info en mijn befaamde sublieme foto's kan je bewonderen bij: http://www.beersfrombelgium.eu/nl/Antigoon-b-4145.html

Flaske fra Holmens importkoffert, delt med Ovesen på tappekveld: klar gylden med eksemplarisk skum. Mmm, aroma av lyse bær og vanilje. Lime, stikkelsbær og lekker bitterhet balanserer dette uttrykket, og alkoholen er forsiktig til stede. Tydelig friskhet (ingenting klissete) kombinert med en kraftig munnfylde, dette er en skikkelig musketér.
