New APA by this zealous Brussels nouvelle vague brewery, thanks to tderoeck for sharing. Large-bubbled, egg-white, thick, cobweb-lacing head, hazy yellow-golden straw blonde robe. Aroma of lychee, ripe melon, lemon meringue pie, powder sugar, lime, dough, mandarin, basil. Fruity, bright onset, crisp and fizzy carbonation, lychee, green banana, pineapple and apple peel notes, supple bready maltiness quickly leading to a grapefruity hop bitter finish, rooty and long, a bit quinine-like in the end, but elegantly citric as well; some powdery yeast effects linger. Hypermodern 'pale ale' in the generic 'craft beer' sense of the word, with traits of classic IPA (rather than APA) as well as New England juiciness. Interesting and tasty.

19/X/19 - 33cl bottle from a trade, shared @ Wim VL's Stoofvlees Tasting, BB: 30/IX/19 - (2019-1752) Thanks to Bierridder_S for the trade!
SLOW GUSHER ALERT!
Clear pale blond beer, big aery off-white head, pretty stable, adhesive. Aroma: banana, very yeasty, coriander, sweet malts, bit unpleasant, oxidized. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: weird, unpleasant bitterness, fruity touch, lots of banana, pretty soapy. Aftertaste: bit spicy, coriander maybe, yeasty, soft acidity, unpleasant bitterness, fruity, chemical, nope. Don't like. On the other hand, it seems this bottles isn't very fresh anymore either.

Bouteille 33cl de Malt Attacks, BB 30/09/2019, lot# FOOT. Dorée, col épais et très actif blanc débordant rapidement du verre, le tout retombe aussi vite - pas bon signe ici. Arôme offre une effluve tenace de sur-fermenté grains avec un rétro-nasal fruité agrumes voire fin mandarine. Le tout sur un effet un peu vieille levure - moldy / wet cardboard - expliquant peut-être cet effet trop actif de la mousse. Palais est léger malté grains, pils et cara pâle, note fine caramel et flanquée par un effet houblonné oscillant sur le feuillu, fruité agrumes - mandarine et petite note sucrée résiduelle qui accentue l'effet orange douce ponctué par un côté de céréales. Effervescence haute, voire un peu trop - touche fine oxydée. Amertume revient juste après avec un fini malté grillé-cara. Carton jaune ici, et le rouge n'est pas très loin.

02/08/2018 @home - 33cl bottle from Belgopop, Jette. Hazy milkshake light yellow with a pinkish hue. Big pearly fading head. Nose is bitterhops, spicy yeast, some fruit. Taste is malty, bitterhops, lots of spicy yeast, hint of fruit, long bitter-spicy aftertaste. Het is Ca Va but after all these beers I would like a 4+ once and a while.
