Hazy orange body. White fizzy head. Lightly orange aroma. Moderately bitter flavour with a distinct spicy after flavour. Peculiar.

One of the latest beers by this new and progressive microbrewery in Elewijt south of Mechlin, a “red IPA” hopped with Challenger and Warrior and spiced with jalapeños. Thick, frothy, egg-white, papery lacing, stable head over a misty orangey to even pale amberish-tinged peach blonde beer. Aroma of freshly cut green bell peppers, wet toast, moist white pepper, old kitchen herbs, soggy peanuts, red apple peel, iron shavings, dried out lime. Sweetish onset, apple-ish with light apricot and banana accents, fizzy and bit minerally carbonation, slick and smooth body. Cereally, very lightly peanutty malt profile with a very soft toasty edge but something annoyingly metallic as well; light orange peel and white pepper hoppiness in the finish, some leafy bitterness and background aromatics but not even close to typical IPA, while the green pepper (or ‘chili’) factor lingers below, providing only a very gentle amount of capsaicin heat. Malt sweetness lingers. Feebly structured, this is not an IPA in any way the modern beer consumer (let alone beer ‘geek’) expects and the chili heat could be more pungent for me as well. Way too restrained and well-behaved for what it claims to be, needs a lot more guts – and where does that metallic aspect come from?

20/X/18 - 33cl bottle @ home, BB: 2/VII/19 - (2018-1587) Thanks to Alengrin for sharing the bottle!
Clear orange beer, big creamy irregular yellowish head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: sweet, sugary, malty, grains, caramel, bit sugary. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very malty, sugary, sweet, caramel, soft bitterness, slightly fruity, bit oxidized. Aftertaste: soft bitterness, caramel, malty, bit grassy, malty, grains, metallic. By no means does this qualify as an IPA! And where the hell is my chili?
