24/XII/16 - 33cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent) @ home - BBE: 2017 (2016-1486)

Clear amber beer, small aery off-white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: sweet, bit sourish, oxidized, orange peel, malty, bit spicy. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: sweet start, oxidized, caramel, honey, orange peel. Aftertaste: sweet, spicy touch, alcohol, little bitter.

Another White Pony beer made at Gaverhopke, so I carefully open this over the sink - and indeed, heavy gushing once again. What is left, is a cloudy, peachy, brownish coloured beer with a thin, moussy, egg-white head retaining primarily on the edges - carbonation clearly has escaped along with the foam. Aroma, as is often the case with this beer company - and this brewery, for that matter - has a lot of ’animalistic’ odours; I get suggestions of fermenting peaches, rotting pear, baker’s yeast, dried orange peel, sourdough, brandy, canned pineapple slices, rose hip, cooked chicken, FFF (freshly fermented farmland), wet earth, sweet cashew nuts, lots of coriander, overripe mango and quite a lot of it, yellow curry paste, bread crust, some banana, soapy wheat and apple cake along with medicinal phenols (cough syrup, band aid); I also get the clear, rusty sweetish smell of oxidation, so this bottle is clearly far from fresh. Sweet flavour, rounded and full, very estery, peach, mango, banana, hint of passion fruit, soft carbo (because, as stated above, the carbon dioxide has literally fled the bottle upon opening), lightly sourish (citrus peel), deep soapy and sourish ’wheatiness’, very yeasty with a bready, powdery effect, a bit thinned by age probably, caramelly malt sweetness with a light nutty touch, persisting into the finish where it gets the company of not only increased ’powder yeast’ but also a resinous coriander ’bittersweetness’ and a deep, very earthy (dull), herbal hop bitterishness, providing more structure than actual bitterness, and a glow of warming, armagnac-like alcohol appearing too quickly but luckily not causing too much burn; the unmistakable oxidation returns retronasally. Older bottle indeed, but of a 9.5% ABV beer, I would expect more cellaring potential. The overall taste confirms my assumptions of bacterial infection - and I am gradually beginning to hate Gaverhopke for it. I am very much bothered by the fierce gushing and the fermentation gone out of control, releasing a bomb of unpleasant phenols, depriving the liquid from its carbonation and making it a worn-out remainder of its former self. Could be better when young I suppose, but I won’t bother if this is the result I get after only a couple of years of cellaring. In terms of style, I guess this is a ’wheat wine’ - making me ponder if we, at Ratebeer, should not start recognizing this as a style separated from barley wine, like our friends at Beeradvocate do...

bottle shared at THT No head or carbonation. Cloudy amber pour. An ok wit beer

Bottled from Bier Genot, BB End 2017, large sample, poured into a tulip glass after slight gushing (what else is new with t Gaverhopke?). Cloudy golden to orange color with some debris floating around, small frothy head with just a bit of lacing. Aroma of way too many spices, slight peppery, grainy malts, some high fusels, bit strawberry, slight orange, bit straw. High fusels make some bubblegummy fruity artificial candy. Bit sweet, slight bitter, dry, quite alcoholic. Spices accentuate the dry and alcoholic notes. A bit messy and a bit too alcoholic.

#bfgm14, amber met minimale witte kraag redelijk zoet, proeft redelijk alcoholisch, iets prikkelende co2, goede smaken van oa koriander, sinaasappelschil, graan, en Belgische gist. afdronk bevat echter een zeer licht zuurtje. --- Beer merged from original tick of Nasty WhiteSnow - on 18 May 2018 at 14:49 - Score: 7

Small snowwhite head, fast gone over veiled pale amber beer with a verdigris sheen; finely carbonated. Spiced nose, wheat, coriander, banana, sourdough. Bitter with sweet alcohol vying for supremacy. Preserved orangepeel, again bitter and sweet, orangepeel on liqueur, Mandarine Napoléon. Quite slick, oily MF; rather well-bodied. Long-lasting, but no new flavours in the aftertaste; alcoholheat. Surprisingly good - let’s keep diplomatic about the nose. Seen its origins and the gimmicky label and its blurb, I’m rather relieved about the result.

Bottle @ Benzai. Hazy orange colour with a small off-white head. Smells sour, wheat, herbs, green twigs. Tastes sourish, wood, malts, also sweet, herbs. Full body, soft carbo.

33 cl. bottle sampled @ Kerstbierfestival Essen 2013. Murky orange with an off-white head. Nose is spoiled & mouldy, herbal, old cereals. Taste is bitter, spoiled, mouldy with herbs, cereal, excess yeast, old herbs, touch grains. Thick & boozy body. In my opinion suffers from the infections that house at the ‘t Gaverhopke brewing facility, they had too much time to develop in this beer.
