It is a nice Belgian ale with a good touch of hop, aromatic and sparkling, not so far from a Duvel regarding the taste, interesting, 05.11.17, tasting it at Bonfol, buying it in Paris, bootlegger or Place de l'Aligre
gave a cheers!

(Bottle, 0.33 l - BB 24052017, from Alko Arkadia, 20161128) The beer poured golden and hazy. Its head was huge, white and it lasted long. Aroma had fruitiness, lemongrass and citricness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, floralness, grass, Belgian style yeast, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity, sweet and bitter. A nice but messy hoppy brew.

Pale blond colour. Aroma is a bit grassy as is the flavour. Seems less punchy than its previous incarnations. Some floral hop notes come through strongly in the finish.

Monumentális, tömör, örökké tartó hab. Illata édeskés, citrusos . Íze enyhén édes és keserű, zöldfűszeres, gyümölcsös aromákkal. Kellemes, testes sör, de valahogy nem üti meg a sima Hopus szintjét.

The newest incarnation of this hoppy version of Hopus, Lefebvre’s greatest hit at the moment. Extremely thick and rocky, coarse, egg-white head retaining towering high for a long time and at the same time leaving thick ’papery’ lacing on the edge of the glass; clear deep golden blonde colour with somewhat greenish hue, almost looking like a Duvel. Aroma of freshly cut garden weeds, sorrel, nettles, unripe gooseberry, banana ester including a certain amount of bubblegum, green apple peel, straw, wormwood, field flowers, gin, honey, tulip, jute, unripe plum. Crisp onset, sourish gooseberry and green plum mingled with a sweetish hint of banana and peach, strong carbonation distracting from the overall flavor and stinging the tongue for a long time, supple malt body, pale malt sweetishness, bit grainy but acquiring a light breadiness towards the end, where the hops come in, in a perfectly balanced, ’European’, noble kind of way, grassy, earthy and very floral, leaving a good amount of peppery bitterness drying the back of the mouth without becoming harsh; gin-like alcohol brings a warming glow after swallowing. Like the other editions of this brew and like many other modern hop-forward Belgian ales produced by established breweries, this meets the requirements of a ’Belgian IPA’ classification, but in the old school, ’noble hops’ way. The Duvel Tripel Hop editions, upon which this series seems to be inspired, are more exciting I think because of the hop varieties they use, but this one, in all its ’Belgian-ness’, is surely enjoyable. I do not find a lot of difference with the other vintages, though, but then I haven’t been following this series in detail.
