Bottle @ Barely Legal Tasting Room . Pours clear, between amber and blonde . Small white head . Smell is very grainy , almost like it has a sourness as well ... Taste is really grainy, bitter, the sourness isn’t really sour, its more like a sharp, malty, funky ( brett ) kinda thing .. Pretty sure its not really infected or anything like that ( at least , not in a bad way ) but its pretty far from the average, standard IPA . Don’t get ;e wrong, I like this very much , but perhaps the style catagory should be changed . Reminds a lot to Orval , very much even . This is very respectable . Its more easy drinkable too, and a little bit more intense and more bitter . in a world with so many Orval clones, nobody told me this was suposed to be one , yet this is one of my favourits in this style ... nice !

Bouteille 33cl, BB 04/2015, lot# HTB001 Orangée, qcq sédiments, col blanc cassé. Arôme offre de suite un bouquet levure rappelant fort la Morpheus, levure qui se retrouve assez dominante. Note aussi un houblonné bien relevé sur des tons verts/fleuri. Palais est malté pâle-pils, amertume houblonnée US, Cascade? léger en agrumes, herbacé et une pointe de fleuri. Qcq touches résiduelles grains, sec assez belge surtout dans le profil levure qui garde cette influence Alvinne.

Ar: 8, Ap: 4, T: 7, P: 4, O: 15, total: 3.8/5
Little hazy, dark orange beer, creamy white head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: nice fruity, bit sweet, then something off, bit of lemon, grapefruit, sweet malts, bit of and English angle to it. MF: soft to no carbon, medium body. Taste: fruity start, some grapefruit, peaches, nice bitterness. Aftertaste: dry and bitter, little fruity.
19/V/14 - 33cl bottle from the brewer @ home - BB: IV/2015, bottled: IV/2014 (2014-512) Thanks to Jef for the bottle!
Ar: 7, Ap: 2, T: 7, P: 3, O: 3.4
Clear orange yellow beer, irregular fizzy yellowish head, unstable, dissipates quickly, non adhesive. Lots of small chunks/specks floating in the beer. Aroma: sweet ripe exotic fruits, mango, ripe peaches, sugary, sweet, hint of caramel. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet start, grains, sugary, bit of citrus, little sour, fruity bubble gum. Aftertaste: bit chemical, soft bitterness, bit sugary, banana peel, unpleasant bitterness, malt, grains, some exotic fruit bubble gum from a vending machine in the swimming pool 20 years ago. Although a solid beer, there's something weird that would not make me call it an IPA when tasted blind.
