Brewed with regular Perle hop pellets. To be compared with Wadesda #6 that was brewed with freeze dried Perle hops.

Bottle at Moeder Lambic SG. It pours hazy golden with medium white head. The nose is fresh, grassy, green hops, doughy and light peach/apricot action. The taste is crisp, bitter, grassy, earthy, creamy, floral, green hop, light pepper, minerals and dough with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not quite as good as #6, but still tasty.

2 * 330 ml. bottle’s @ ’t Antwaerps Bierhuyske. #5 & #6 side-by-side. Appearance is the same for both version, Quite hazy touch darker orange, rather big creamy white head. Nose is fruity yeast, ripe apricot, very creamy, #5 bitter grass, seems to dominate a bit more in typical De La Senne style, floral bitter, #6 is a bit heavier on yeast, sugar, pear, more yeast forward but the more you compare, the smaller the difference seems to become. Both appear to be very creamy. Taste of #5 is more bitter grass in typical De La Senne fashion, floral bitter, creamy overripe fruits, pear, apricot, big creamy yeast but it doesn’t dominate, #6 seems to be more yeasty, more sweetness, less bitter grass,… The more you taste, the more you pallet adjusts & the less the difference seems to become but #5 appears to be my favorite, more bitter grass, floral hop seems to lead to a better balance, the fact that both are rather close is impressive on its own,… Still I hope that all of these experiments won’t lead to Taras Boulba with freeze dried hops or they already have & I haven’t noticed the difference. Body-wise both appear to be the same, wonderfully creamy, light yeast presence.
