A decidedly light hearted take on a European classic. An extra pale body and subtle bitterness set the tone letting the speciality Belgian yeast shine, while Curacao Orange and Coriander add fruity, spicy notes. True to form we decided to clown around with sack loads of our favourite US hops in the hop back and in cold conditioning. The result is a beer to lift the spirits and make you smile, not one for the purists maybe but whoever took a Clown seriously?

Draft @ Tilquin English Fest ’16, courtesy of and shared with the fine Belgian RB crew. De couleur orangée, col fin blanc-cassé. Arôme est léger finement houblonné avec un rétro léger belge, petite note d’épice de coriandre mais restant minimaliste. L’ajout d’houblons US aide à rajouter une fine sensation olfactive de fruité. Palais est plus centré sur un malt froment, pointe de fruité citronné et léger fleuri avec une couverture belge fine d’ester au niveau de la levure qui reste assez épaisse en fin de bouche avec un léger épicé de coriandre.

Hazy yellow. The aroma and flavour remind me very much of a witbier. Light tartness. It’s fruity, tangy and fresh.
