Super NoAH

(Draught at Chez Moeder Lambic Fontainas, Brussels, 18 Oct 2012) Pale golden colour with lasting white head, leaving traces of lacing. Malty, fruity nose with notes of peaches, citrus, honey, floral hops and hay. Malty, fruity taste with soft malt, peaches, citrus and a spicy bitterness in the finish. Light hints of soapy wheat in the background. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Highly drinkable with a refreshing hop character. Nice one.

From tap at Moeder Lambic. Pours cloudy yellow with a huge white head. Aroma is mild peachy and light citrusy. Bitter, peachy and citrusy. Smooth fruity and dry bitter finish.

Very good, dense & fine yellowish head, quite stable over hazy golden beer, with a fine green sheen. Lots of small UFO’s after the first pour. Milky, diary nose, greenmalt, milkripe grain. Quite bitter, bitter hops, but not crude. Flavours of fresh hops, EU hops, but in the UK Bitter style. Some ureum, hopoils; faint malty sweetness in the very finish. Bit tart from the oils, dry, with long-lasting bitterness. Light to medium bodied, slick, very refreshing. Ah, another good one from B.V., like it, but... I have no qualms about brewers openly advertising to prefer EU hops for their hoppy beers, rather than US ones. But I’d liked it a lot better, if they had come forward on the label with WHICH hops they worked specifically.

Zythos Bierfestival 2012, Leuven, Belgium. Pours hazy deep gold with nice lasting white head. The aroma is honey and herbs and spices as well as sort of a wet floral meadow like feel. The taste is crisp with spicy hops and deepened with mild malts and herb like shrubbery nuances. Nice crisp session summer brew.

Draft @ ZBF 2012 // slightly hazy sad slightly greenish yellow with a white head // smell is slightly sweet citrus & touch floral hops, grains // taste is light, touch lager like, grains, light herbal, grass & citrus hops in finish // fizzy & light body // I appreciate the sentiment but a different beer should prove the point more if there is a point to prove

Draft @ ZBF’12. Props to Br. Verzet for showing that indeed you can brew a tasty Belgian beer without fancy US hops. Dorée légèrement brumeuse, col blanc. Arôme est bien fleuri sur un beau bouquet citronné. En bouche, houblons e ressent bien, laissant des notes d’agrumes, citronné, le tout étant sec en bouche pour une amertume persistante et agréable, le tout se suit pas un fini grains.
