Even this old-fashioned brand added this IPA to its range, formerly executed at Van Steenberge, but now apparently at Anders (?)... Found this at the Delhaize in Lokeren, steinie bottle with the deliberately sexy young nun used throughout this brand on front label and crown cap. Thick and frothy, snow white, tightly membrane-lacing, somewhat coarse and large-bubbled, stable head on a hazy apricot blonde robe with pale orangey tinge. Aroma of dried orange zest, green banana, lemonbalm from a herbarium rather than the garden, raw parsnip, leftover dough, fresh chamomile, cilantro, freshly ironed cloth somewhere, green pear, southernwood, old asphalt, cold clarified butter. Fruity onset, some 'Belgian' banana ester mingled with green pear, unripe kiwi and unripe peach notes, restrained in sweetness and fizzily carbonated with minerally effects; ferrous undertone, as in spring water high in natural metals, bridged by a smooth, malt-sweetish core, bready but in a sleek kind of way with a touch of sandwich, gradually bittered by earthy, leafy hops, while retronasally a touch of 'brightening' citrus blossom or mandarin zest admittedly appears - along with a soapy cilantro effect and traces of banana ester. Quite a long-lasting bitterness, but 'impure' as usual with these Belgian IPAs, muffled in aroma and constantly disturbed by esters, phenols (clove!) and other irrelevant elements. An annoying 'chemical' touch, somewhat wry, seems to linger alongside the bitterness of the hops, but fortunately in a very faint way. The minerality and that metallic aspect continue throughout. Another typical Belgian IPA - and I do not mean an Anglo-Saxon IPA deliberately playing Belgian by adding a Belgian style yeast, I mean an attempt by a hopelessly old-fashioned company to 'hop up' the old familiar Belgian blonde or tripel by throwing in more hops - sometimes even New World ones - and hoping that magically, an IPA will be the result. Drinkable, sure.

On tap at GIST. Pours hazy blonde with a white head. Spicy Belgian yeast on the nose. Flavour has floral Belgian yeast, mild spice, gentle carbonation. Not bad, but not terribly exciting.

On tap at GIST, pours a cloudy golden with a medium white head. Aroma has a sort of metallic character, with Belgian yeast, and floral hops. Flavour has a nice mix of Belgian yeast, floral hops, and an earthy piney finish. Floral and hoppy finish. Good stuff.

0,33 bottle. In a classic Belgian bottle with a nun label, a light amber beer with a huge white head. It looks good! Grassy, ​​resinous, yet fruity, appropriately intense, delicate aroma. Carbonation is adequate, body is medium. It opens with a tart, sour taste. The 6.5 alcohol is hidden. It has a slight yeastiness, quite a complex taste besides the sourness being the dominant one. Interesting, medicinal aftertaste. Well-put together, delicious bee

Klasszikus belga üvegben apácás címke mögött világos borostyán sör hatalmas fehér habbal. Jól néz ki! Füves, gyantás, mégis gyümölcsös, megfelelően intenzív, finom illat. Szénsavasság megfelelő, testesség közepes. Fanyar, savanykás ízzel nyit. A 6,5 alkohol elbújtatva. Pici élesztősség, elég összetett íze van amellett, hogy a savanykás az uralkodó. Érdekes, gyógyszeres utóíz. Jól összerakott, finom sör!
