On tap at the brewpub. cloudy orange with white head. Some vague hoppiness, light fruit, malty, soft texture, bit watery and bland. Light+ bodied.

22 July 2018. Gentse Feesten @ Brouwbar! Shared with Anke.
Pours hazy golden with a big, collapsing, frothy, off-white head; little lacing. Fresh aroma of lemon zest, orange peel, pineapple, grass, kiwi even, mango, bready malt. It tastes light fruity sweet, some orange & pineapple, and light to medium hoppy bitter, a bit grassy; yeasty & bready in the back, even light wheaty sour. Dryish, grassy hoppy finish, a bit resinous with lingering bready malt, but rather short. Light body, slick texture, lively carbonation. In terms of experience, needless to say it's somewhat underwhelming. However, how mighty a revolution it would be if beers like these replaced the industrial Pale Lagers as the go-to quenchers...

13/VII/18 - on tap @ Dok Brewing Company (Gent) - BB: n/a (2018-836)
Clear orange beer, creamy off-white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very fruity, tropical fruits, mango, banana, some passion fruits, little malty, caramel, citrus, grapefruit touch. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: lots of citrus, bitter hops, bit grassy, malty, some marzipan. Aftertaste: bitter, slightly metallic, little fruity, bit of dead yeast?

The newest Brouwbar creation, a light summery session ale inspired by session IPA, but intentionally not ascribed to that hip category due to its restraint in hoppiness – and therefore not falling into any fixed category, but since session IPA did provide the inspiration and by lack of a better characterisation, I regarded it as one in entering this. From tap at Brouwbar (obviously…). Thick and regularly shaped, cobweb-lacing, egg-white, stable head on a misty orange-tinged peach blonde beer. Aroma of ripe red apples, lemon zest, lime juice even, bread crumbs, pineapple, green banana, mandarin peel, unripe melon, earthy potato juice, wet clay. Lively, fruity onset, crisp with sharp carbonation adding ‘fullness’ and minerally aspects; notes of green banana, apple and a touch of melon with a citric edge. Rounded, slick cereally and lightly bready malt base, light-footed and a tad grainy, quenching finish with elegant, subtle aromatic qualities yet, as expected and intended, very low hop bitterness, with minerally and apple-ish notes lingering. Nice, clean, accessible and elegant like all of the Brouwbar tap beers, indeed very light and quenching and in that sense doing its job the way it was intended; I do, however, miss hop bitterness here to lend the finish some more body and flavour, as now it ends a little bit watery. If you intend on spending a summery afternoon at this brewpub, though, you will not have any problem chugging down a theoretically unlimited amount of this little summer beer…
