Bottle. Dark cloudy orange with an ok white head. Aroma and Taste of orange marmelade, caramel, malts, some spices, herbs and honey. Moderate bitterness. Medium to strong carbonation. Pretty boozy and not that balanced. Still quite nice though.

Flaska från Sterk, Amsterdam. Disig brunorange vätska med högt stabilt smutsvitt skum. Stor syltig grapedoft. Kladdig vätska, riktig stor kropp, massor av pomeransmarkelad som är riktigt besk. Kåda, resin, karamell, mango. Maffig och med sin stora kropp mer amerikansk barley wine är DIPA. Gott

Bottled 330ml (AIH128)
Amber colour, medium-sized creamy off-white head. A bit dusty hoppy aroma with some fruits. Medium-bodied. Harsh, hoppy with overriped fruits. Sweet also. Unbalanced.

J'ai avant tout été surpris par l'amertume, relativement poussée (75 d'IBU) qui fait de cette Hoogheid une triple houblonnée aux arômes marquées de clémentines, orange, herbes et poivres. La densité et la complexité aromatique sont d'ailleurs plutôt plaisantes, mais une douceur certaine et un alcool, pourtant à 9 %, pas au niveau font clairement défaut. En verre nous sommes sur un ambré quasi limpide surmonté d'une mousse blanc cassé de 1 cm. Le nez est sur le miel, la pêche, la clémentine, l'orange avec de légères herbes. L'attaque est pour sa part très marquée en complément des arômes présents au nez. LA deuxième est sur une bonne amertume mais voit un alcool à la peine n'arrive pas à emmener l'ensemble. L'arrière-bouche, encore un peu plus amère tranche bien. Les arômes sont quant à eux relativement homogènes. Le final court, déçoit.

Another rock band beer but luckily not a standard pale lager this time... Has been in existence for about six years now and is one of Vleesmeester's core products, but somehow it apparently escaped my attention - until now. Complexely cobweb-lacing, eggshell-white, quite thick and firm but also irregular and slowly breaking head, misty deep orange-glowing peach blonde robe, lively but 'refined' strings of sparkling. Aroma of freshly squeezed orange juice, clementine, dried onion, fried tomato peel, dry cookies, old biscuit, moist white pepper, gin, apricot, coriander seed, green melon, banana, dry cigarette tobacco whiff, dust. Fruity, crisp onset, light banana and melon notes mingled with hints at apricot and pineapple, light sourish edge, accentuated by very lively and somewhat coarse, sharp carbonation. Full, round-edged, peanutty and soggy rusk-like maltiness (yet with parts of it obviously replaced by candi syrup with heavy honeyish effect, as is common in Belgian ales), sweetish with a thin caramelly edge, but very quickly bittered by a very firm, spicy, rooty hoppiness, clinging to the root of the tongue in a quinine-like way but also retronasally propelling forward a whiff of citrus peel. This bitterness blends with a 'jenever'-like, slightly wry but in any case quite obvious alcohol effect that fortunately doesn't set in too early as well as a dusty old coriander seed spiciness, and is further adorned with phenolic spicy notes and ongoing honeyish 'malt' sweetness. Belgian tripel all the way, except for the heavy use of New World hops, which add a bright 'orange' citrusiness to the whole - but in the end, it is still the sharply carbonated, coriandered, candi syrup-using, boozy, sweet cliché tripel aspect of the beer that wins the case. Hoppy tripel, simply put, but there is nothing wrong with that per se - even if the tripel features clash a bit with the IPA-like hoppiness; in any case these Your Highness guys have a lot more to show for than all those rock bands with custom pale lagers (AC/DC, Motörhead and so on) - and even a lot more than their Belgian colleagues of Channel Zero with that awful Turbeau Noir...
