Draught Thick yellowish head over fully hazy orange-ochre beer. Superb fruity Sorachi Ace nose, with grapefruit, tart wild fruit and musk. Again the wild, nearly tart musk flavour, grapefrtuit, unripe nondescript fruits and orange peel. Quite slick, light to medium bodied apparently. THIS IS UTTERLY SENSATIONAL. Only 2.5%, and packed with flavour - even the Brits can’t do this. And if that wasn’t bowling over enough, it is the first blond beer I taste where the S.A. works!! Kudos to this brewer!

draft @ Moeder Lambic French Beer Festival ’12. Dorée brumeuse, col blanc épais. Arôme est tout ce que l’on attend du Sorachi, agrumes, citronné en note de zeste presque de citronnelle, fleuri, frais. Palais léger citronné laissant une fin de bouche oscillant entre pétillant, fine amertume agrumes, sec, le tout donnant un caractère profond au houblon. En conclusion, comme quoi on peut bien brasser à cru en offrant une bière légère, complexe et facile à boire. Comme quoi, ce houblon fonctionne aussi pour une bitter sans toujours penser à une IPA.

25 cl. + sample Draft @ Chez Moeder Lambic French Beer Festival /// hazy golden with serious creamy white head that sink with a reasonable pace // smell is definitely sorachi ace but not the sweeter earthly, cheese side of it that I prefer, this is sharp / clean, floral, citrus zest side of it, some grass // taste is fullon the bitter floral side of sorachi ace, citus zest, lemon, lingering quite bitter finish, some spices, clean sharp serious, some malt, dash herbal, serious bitterness // body is clean, sharp, dry // still quite neat for the alcohol percentage, the body doesn’t feel watery or light in any way imaginable // appears to accomplish fully what it set out to be light alcohol, sharp, bitter floral sessionable beer, that in no way feels like 2.5 %, reminds me a bit of De La Senne’s style
