Strong hoppy saison by En Stoemelings, apparently based on an idea from a friend of the brewery’s, an idea dating back to 2016 already but only materialized recently; thanks to tderoeck for sharing. Thick and frothy, eggshell-white, papery lacing, stable head on a near-clear, deep orangey-tinged ‘old gold’ beer with bits of translucent protein flakes swimming around. Aroma of honey, lemon candy, dried apricot, white bread, baked banana, powder sugar, sweet cicely, bitter wormwood leaf, sweetclover. Fruity, sweetish onset, banana, sweet apple and pineapple notes, strong and sharp carbonation, smooth-edged cereally and white-bready maltiness with a light honeyish-sweet touch to it; late but lingering grassy and floral hop bitterness alongside some aromatic spicy notes (coriander, anise, dried peppermint leaf) and some late bready yeastiness. Slick, accessible, pleasant enough sipper, going down easily…

11/VII/20 - 33cl bottle from a trade, shared @ home, BB: 1/XII/19 (2020-625) Thanks to Bierridder_S for the trade!
Pretty clear blond to orange beer, big creamy white head, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very floral, very yeasty, pretty oxidized, sweet, sugary, bit oxidized. MF: very lively carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty sweet and sugary, oxidized, very yeasty, coriander, soapy, a bit too sweet. Aftertaste: sugary, sweet, some banana, liqueur, some alcohol, unpleasant bitterness, coriander, medicinal finish. Not a big fan. Maybe not fair, so I’ll be mild in the numbers.

Bouteille 33cl de Malt Attacks.BB 01/12/2019. Dorée-orangée voile, col épais blanc. Arôme est houblonné noble - note verte classique, fruité et finement végétal rehaussé par la levure. Bouquet un peu fleuri, presque pollen-mielleux. Retrouve un effet de grains concassés en rétro. Palais est boozy, alcool marqué avec une douceur latente de sucre résiduel, sucre candi. Malt dans un classique belge - carapils, pils, carafa, houblonné noble qui apporte une amertume neutre au niveau de la complexité des houblons. Ester sur la fin et un alcool qui revient en force.
