At ZBF 2017. New beer company in the wider Liège region, brewing at de la Croix and already presenting several batches of IPAs made with different New World hop combinations; I’m guessing this blonde version with Centennial, Cascade and Simcoe was their first one (followed by a stronger amber version with Citra and Mosaic). Dense and creamy, egg-white, stable head leaving some ’papery’ lacing around the glass, crowning a cloudy straw blonde beer with deeper ochre-ish tinge. Aroma of fresh grapefruit, pineapple, sweet red onions, pine resin, minerals, bread crumbs, orange peel, green melon, faint hint of passion fruit. Crisp, fruity onset, pineapple, light banana, sweet ripe pear, very sharply overcarbonated though, numbing the flavours. Cereally, lightly bready malt backbone, softly bittering hoppy finish with retronasal sweet onion, grapefruit peel and unripe mango accents, juicy. Pretty standard for a present-day IPA in terms of pure concept and - probably unintentionally - turning out somewhat too ’Belgian’ in practice, with Belgian yeastiness (esters) clashing a bit with the pure hop aromas; overcarbonated too - but all things considered, a tasty and modern Belgian craft beer as far as I’m concerned, decent start. I hope they can reduce the yeast effects a bit but I’m sure this project has the potential to lead to really good IPAs sooner or later.

Thank you for sharing German speaking RB Crew! Sampled draft @ ZBF 2017. Golden solid small white head. Nose is vegetable, butter, massive butter & soap. Taste is awful butter, corn, sugar, grain, vegetable oil & more butter, beats me as to where the hops are. Body is pure butter grain corn, bitter. Name looked enticing but this is even poorer than their other beer, this is plain bad. Concept looked enticing but this really lacked all basics. Seems like others were more optimistic about this one.

Cloudy blond with thin head. Aroma and flavour are full of fresh, sweet malts . Only lightly hopped. Nice to have a fresh full-on malt beer.

At Zythos 2017. Pours cloudy yellow. Aroma is strong butter and onion, little grassy hops. Body is light but buttery, softly sweet, low carbonation. Palate is rather short, butter and fruit. Meh.

Tap. Hazy golden-yellow color with white ring. Aroma is butter, a bit grassy, quite simple. Taste is grassy, buttery, not much more. Bitter finish. Not really my cup of tea.
