Botella de 33 cl en el lúpulo octubre de 2012. Lote 41/24/2010. Una ipa belga bastante dulce y con un amargor no muy intenso. Ligeramente especiada. Se bebe bastante bien con un cuerpo medio de 7 vol. No esta mal, habría que repetirla algún día de estos.

330 ml bottle. Almost clear dark golden body with a fine tan head. Aroma is quite malty with some citric fruit, but the fruit is not really dominating here. Flavor is sweet and smooth malty, caramel, citric fruit and moderate bitterness. Fine, balanced body and nice malty aftertaste with some fruit and bitterness. Didn’t check the date on this bottle, but assume it might be a bit old as it has such little bitterness compared with the version from Haandbryggeriet. It tasted more like an American pale ale than IPA, that said the malt flavor is very smooth, soft and nice, a bit sweet maybe but still in balance.

Bottle at Tuulensuu. Total Gusher. Hazy amber color, huge off-white head. Yeasty aroma, some veggie notes and dried fruits. Medium-bodied. Dark fruits, rainsin, yeast, hops and alcohol. Warming. More like dark Belgian ale than IPA.

Slightly hazy amber with enormous head, very hard to pour. Earthy, alcohol, sour fruits, sweet and roasted malts, cardboard, piny hops. Medium bodied with massive carbonation. Strange and way over-carbonated.

Flasche (33 cl) von Struise, Brügge. - Explosive Schaumentwicklung beim Öffnen der Flasche. Unansehnlicher, grobporiger Schaum über goldbraunem Bier mit unappetitlichen großen Schwebteilchen. Die IPA-typische Nase mit tropischen Früchten ist nur schwach ausgeprägt. Antrunk viel zu rezent, schaumig-brausig. Hinter all der Kohlensäure etwas herbe Frucht, Tabak und säuerliche Noten. Der angepriesene Aromahopfen (Trockenhopfung mit Cascade) ist kaum zu erschmecken. Schwach säuerlicher, bitterer Nachtrunk. - Hier ist die Flaschengärung wohl außer Kontrolle geraten. Mißlungenes IPA.

zelden zo´n koolzuurbom meegemaakt!. glas is voor 1/5e ingeschonken en het schuim komt nu al aan alle kanten over het glas en de fles heen. Het schuim in de fles blijft maar komen, ’t is net een actieve vulkaan... helaas is door deze gusher activiteit ook de gist meegekomen het glas is, jammer... amber/caramel bruin van kleur, gist troebelig met met schuimige witte kraag. aroma is hoppig, floraal, moutig, caramel, citrus de smaken zijn redelijk zoet, redelijk bitter, licht fruitig, matig gemout, zwak kruidig, medium body, en zoals al vermeld een véél te hoge co2 !

(Bottle) Amber colour, slightly hazy, with frothy beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of apricots, marmalade, orange peel, caramel and hints of black-currant. Fruity, malty nose with grapefruit, Seville orange, citrus peel, caramel, dried apricots resin and a generous citric/resinous bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Generous, but nicely balanced hop presence, backed up by a soft and rounded malt profile. Excellent IPA.

This 33cl bottled seemed to be hanging around my stash awaiting chilling for ages, but it’s BBD is 04/2015, so maybe I haven’t had it as long as I thought: anyway it was opened and poured into a La Chouffe glass on 16th Nov 2013. A deep and heavy head of beige foam sat on top of the reddy brown body, hazy, but not murky in looks. The nose was excited by the various esters it picked up: a pink grapefruit marmalade with malty molasses lashed with old hop plants and Belgian yeast left overs seemed to be the final smell I got. The taste wasn’t as hoppy as I expected, this has a large malt content that prevents the hops taking over completely, some caramel and toffee apple notes help the blend give a very pleasant brew with a substantial alcohol kick that arrives nicely towards the end of each sip. Different and interesting: a fine beer and one I’d happily have again.
