Imported from my RateBeer account as Brouwbar BR27 Brut IPA (by Brouwbar):
Aroma: 4/10, Appearance: 4/5, Taste: 5/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 8/20, MyTotalScore: 2.4/5
16/V/19 - on tap @ Brouwbar (Gent), BB: n/a - (2019-710) Thanks to Benjamin for the sample, even though he wasn't selling the beer any longer cause he was dissatisfied with it.
Very cloudy blond to orange beer, small thick creamy white head, stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: lots of chlorine, chemical, band-aid, slightly fruity, malty touch. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very chemical, rubber and plastic, unpleasant bitterness, bit soapy. Aftertaste: band-aid, burned rubber, bit fruity, banana, some alcohol, unpleasant bitterness, slightly smoky.

The latest Brouwbar brew to date, a reworked version of BR22, with lighter malt profile and lighter ABV to try and make it more digestible. From tap at Brouwbar. Very densely creamy and mousy, thickly membrane-lacing, snow white head, misty apricot blonde robe with ochre-yellowish edges. Fragrant aroma of freshly cut sweet red onions, dry orange peel, sweetbread dough (or perhaps marzipan like the brewer suggested), green banana, paprika crisps, touch of ‘horse steak juice’, sweaty note, gypsum and soap hints. Clean ‘hop and malt fruitiness’ in the onset, notes of banana peel, kumquat and lychee with a crisp, lively, ‘cristalline’ carbonation effect, bit stinging even; smooth and slick cereally maltiness, dry white bread, soaked in very aromatic and mildly bittering hoppiness, adding expressive retronasal effects of pink peppercorns, blood orange, grapefruit peel and sweet paprika, a tad powdery; needless to say and as a result of the added amylase, the whole beer remains bone dry, as it ought to be for the intended style – and more so than its BR22 predecessor. Quite distinctive within Brouwbar’s range so far – and even if brut IPA has failed to conquer my heart so far, I must admit that this is a truly brilliant example of it; once again, Brouwbar has managed to reinvent an older beer and made it better than the original. Comparison within Belgium is far from easy – this is only the third brut IPA made in Belgium that I know of – but there is no doubt that this is very, very well done, so deserving of a high score on this site.
