Codex is a juicy Belgian blond ale of 6% ABV with a subtle fruity-spicy yeast complexity, a malty flavour and a dry finish. The generous whirlpool additions of Motueka hops from New Zealand equip the beer with a distinctive freshly crushed citrus and “Mojito” lime character, with background notes of tropical fruit.
Water: Damme. Malt: pils, munich, oats, wheat. Hops: Goldings, Motueka. Yeast: Belgian abbey.

Bouteille 33cl, BB 20/01/2022, lot# CO/006-007.
Dorée, col fin crémeux blanc-cassé.
Arôme sur une approche belge - levure, note de banane avec un bouquet mielleux/finement épicé sur une pointe tropicale et léger effet abricot sec. Rétro-nasal de grains - malt pils.
Palais garde une approche très belge - cela se note principalement dans le caractère esters de la levure avec une petite touche de banane. Retrouve un caractère houblonné plus noble - le Motueka apportant une pointe d'agrumes qui oscille vers le citorn vert alors que le Goldings, que je suppose être dans sa variante anglaise, confère un fini un peu mielleux et finement terreux restant dans une approche européenne.

3/VII/20 - 33cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent), shared @ home, BB: 2/I/22 (2020-574)
Little cloudy orange blond beer, small creamy dense white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: fruity, malty touch, bit floral, some banana, peaches, sweet impression. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet, malty, somewhat chemical, ripe banana, soft bitterness. Aftertaste: yeast, more ripe banana, bit sugary, some alcohol, not bad, not great, just a decent beer. Would’ve liked it a little more bitter at least.
Paired with a white asparagus pizza, with red onion, Italian parsley and black olives.

1 February 2020. At Brugs Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke, Kevin, Niels & Cynthia! Hazy yellow, unstable, frothy, white head. Aroma of banana, ripe yellow apple, apricot, lime, sorbet, melon. Taste has sweet banana & apricot, rather 'Belgian' yeasty character, yoghurty backbone with sour & spicy accents. Dryish, floral hoppy finish, lingering yellow fruit, citrus, yeast & a hint of jenever alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Refreshing but less convincing than Siphon's new Derby beer.
