Imported from my RateBeer account as Lefebvre Hopus Primeur 2013 (by Brasserie Lefebvre):
Aroma: 4/10, Appearance: 3/5, Taste: 7/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 12/20, MyTotalScore: 2.9/5
23/III/13 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker) @ home - BB: 14/II/15 (2013-263)
Clear yellow beer, huge big bubbled white head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: upon opening the bottle: horse manure, no really. In the glass: a dirty first smell, horse stable, horse shit and urine. After that's gone, we get grassy and hay aroma's, a hint of citrus, bit piny, resinous almost, and something sugary. MF: lots of carbon, medium body. Taste: lots of citrus first, piny hops, fruity impression, pretty grassy. Aftertaste: citrus, very bitter hops, bit chemical, grains, some pinapple, unpleasant bitterness in the ending. Just adding a shitload of hops to your regular recipe does not automatically make for a good IPA / hopped up beer.
