Fles thuis. Donkergeel bier met mooie stevige schuimkraag. Smaak is bitter hoppig en licht fruitig zoet met iets van hop en citrus. Heel fijn bier.

"Valeir Extra", Fläschchen aus Biertausch mit Jef - Bedankt! - Goldbraun, trüb. - In der Nase belgische fruchtig-parfümierte Aromen, leise zitrusfruchtige Hopfung, etwas Orangenmarmelade. - Antrunk dicht und üppig malzig, leicht brotig, wenig süß; feinste belgische Hefe mit Anklängen an Pfirsich. Die Hopfung fällt für ein IPA ungewöhnlich gedämpft aus, zwar angenehm floral-zitrusfruchtig und ausreichend herb aber ohne das übliche Tropifrutti. Milder rezent, vollmundig hefeweich. Im Abgang angenehm trocken und mäßig hopfenherb. - Untypisches aber schmackhaftes IPA mit unverkennbarer belgischer Note, ein Bier mit Charakter. (23.1.2025.)

Servida y degustada en tulipa, color cobrizo, turbia, espuma blanca jabonosa bien conservada, con abundante residuo. Agradable en nariz, levadura, fruta tropical, algo de resina, pomelo, ligeras notas de repostería, bien jugoso el aroma. En boca mantiene la jugosidad de las notas frutales captadas por el olfato, con una ligera nota dulce de malta de fondo y un decidido y muy equilibrado amargor de un lúpulo más que agradable. En conclusión, cada uno tiene su propio gusto, y el mío me dice que esta cerveza está riquísima.

Tight foamy white head on a hazy amber coloured body. Confectionery, stone fruit & yeast aroma. Medium bodied, foamy frothy & dry on the back. Bubble gum, nectarine, sweet & grainy tastes with a lightly hopped tangy finish. I've had worse.

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Gusher. Pours a cloudy amber colour with a large thick throthy white head and lots of sediment in the glass. Aromas of citrus and stoney fruits with a little peppery spice. Taste has the same fruity tones again with more peppery spice and slightly dry finish. Thinnish body with average carbonation. Quite good.

Thanks to Jef V. For this bottle! Slightly soapy-fruity nose. Yeasty, hoppy, dry.

Thuis uit een flesje. Goudgele kleur, dik wit schuim, mooi. Een prima bier, maar doet mij niet aan een ipa denken. Eerder een stevig vol pils. Blond bier. Smaak is goed.
