Good dense, light yellow head over clear reddish copper beer; end of bottle solid yeast. Caramel, copper, hopoil, lupulin, cheese, green hops. Again metallic (copper), caramel, but not sweet, fruit mainly in the aftertaste. Some alcoholwarmth all the same, very slick, oily; medium bodied. Very accomplished; no fireworks, just good beer.

Thanks to the brewer. Draft @ Brewery. Orange, creamy white. Nose is fresh raw grainy hop, grapefruit, pine, super dry. Very weird beer that is super dry & thick at once some how feels like a very dry DIPA with orange peel, pine, lots of it, very dry but finish gives illusion of very thick malty DIPA or rather as if it were to expand in your mouth, very unique beer where I am not sure as to what is happening, hop feels very fresh, raw, burlap sack hop, real mind-fuck.

Tap @ late RBBSG. Brut IPA apparently. Hazy orangy color, average sized white head. Aroma is lightly malts, hops, orangepeel. Taste malts, hops, orange, orangepeel. Dry. Hmm crossover between IPA-ish and saison-ish. Not my thing I guess.

Totem's latest creation to date but having been in the pipelines for quite some time, this is more than likely the very first "brut IPA" made in Belgium, a new type of hazy IPAs originated in California recently - and, I suspect, a good candidate for taking over the NEIPA hype in due time... This Tyr was presented to the public during Totem's tap takeover at Dok Brewing Company last Saturday but tapped from a cask that previously held Alvinne's Ich Bin Ein Berliner Framboos, which may have interfered a bit with the flavour, as Klaas (the Totem brewer) pointed out. Anyway, I never tasted a brut IPA before and I had only this glass to judge this beer by, so I will definitely make a re-rating when this one crosses my path again. Thinnish, immediately opening, snow white head lacing in dots over a misty peach blonde beer with pale orangey tinge. Lovely, delicately fragrant aroma of grapefruit blossom, mango, rosewater, warm biscuit cake, green kiwi, candied orange peel, sugared cider. Fruity onset, sweeter mango-, strawberry- and guava-like notes with a refreshing edge of something orange-like, light sourish touch, medium and refined carbonation, lean and slick body. Clean cereally base, thin white bread crust- and very light caramelly effects but essentially dry, with a gentle, highly aromatic and fruity hop character quickly setting in, filling the nose cavity with lovely impressions of citrus blossom and pink grapefruit juice, granadilla and mango with a dash of red onion thrown in. Citrusy, delicate, quenching, highly elegant and lightly spicy bitter finish. A beauty indeed, but as said, probably 'coloured' (also literally) a bit by the cask's previous content - I must find a bottle of this, if only to enjoy this lovely new IPA again.
