Bouteille 33cl de Sequoia, Ixelles, BB 25/11/2021.
Orange présentant un léger voile, col fin blanc-cassé.
Arôme au nez fin malté, caramel - pils, retrouve un léger rétro venant des fleurs d'hibiscus, pointe épicée en rétro avec pointe effluve d'agrumes.
Palais est d'emblée un peu ruiné par une effervescence mal maîtrisée - cette dernière est bcp trop haute.
Note un léger apport de l'hibiscus avec un fini un peu houblonné noble oscillant sur le léger terreux et citronné.
Malt pils, rondeur d'avoine, une version blanche qui à de l'idée mais tombe plate à l'exécution.

Idiosyncratic 'witbier' by this new Brussels brewing project, spiced with hibiscus (roselle, cultivated in certain parts of Africa) and grains of paradise (the seeds of a ginger-like plant native to Africa) - both of which are intended to give the beer an 'African twist'. Creamy and regularly edged, pale off-pinkish-tinged white, mousy head, slowly opening here and there but generally stable, lightly hazy pale orange blonde with vague salmon-pinkish tinge under the right light. Aroma of indeed (a lot of) sweet and floral, tea-like hibiscus (roselle tea), a vague orange peel-like citric aspect linked to the grains of paradise, roses, stewed rhubarb sweetened with white sugar, lavender soap, white bread dough, ripe apricots, straw, elderblossom, Pink Lady apples, dry white pepper (doubtlessly the grains of paradise again) and a background whiff of DMS (overcooked cauliflower). Crisp onset, sweetish and sourish, very refreshing with a lively, fizzy yet not harshly stinging carbonation effect, fruity with notes of apricot, freshly cut apple, vague strawberry and some banana, supple doughy malt body, sweetish and fluffy, bit cereally with clear wheat soapiness to it. This soapiness is accentuated towards the end by the hibiscus, adding a soft, perfumey floweriness that differs from the often very rosehip tea-like 'metallicness' in many other hibiscus-flavoured beers; the grains of paradise add a lively, peppery spicy accent and even a subtle citric note, while a floral hop character deposits a soft, mild bitterness to the root of the tongue and at the same time both accentuates the floral hibiscus effect and the peppery grains of paradise effect. Ends softly spicy, very floral, crisp, bright and elegant, with highly quenching and refreshing character. I was hesitant to taste this one considering my skepticism against hibiscus-flavoured beers (I had many of them and liked only very few), but I have to admit that apart from that DMS, which even from the background kept bothering me a bit throughout, this is quite an interesting creation.

33cl bottle from Färm.Tongres bio shop in Brussels. F: medium, egg-white, quick diminishing. C: red amber, hazy. A: malty, wheat sour fruity, bit red berries, bit herbal, banana, bit yeasty. T: light malty base, wheat, bit banana, red berries, yet there is hibiscus and probably grains of paradise so interesting as experiment, bit spicy aftertaste yet very subtle, high bit disturbing carbonation, bit soapy mouthfeel, nothing very special for the style, drinkable.
