New beer in this old series, bottle shared by tderoeck. Thick, egg-white, lacing head over a lightly hazy orangey peach blonde beer. Aroma of banana, shortbread, peach, caramel, peanuts, caramel, apricot, cloves, red apple peel. Fruity onset, peach with a hint of the old banana ester but not too much so, sourish apple peel-like edge, fizzy carbo, smooth mouthfeel, tad soapy. Lightly bready malt body with caramelly touch and a toasty accent towards the end, herbal and earthy, mildly but quite adequately hop bitter tail; dryish, but only superficially so. Decent enough as such.

Thank you tderoeck! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ “Belgian Ticks Tasting Ghent”. Clear amber orange, big bubbles. Nose is metallic, BE , soap, weird esters, oddly spices,… Carbonation is ridiculously high, ruins it, otherwise soap, fizzy, grain, chemical, esters,… I have rated the other Achilles beers notably higher, I might have been in a foul mood trying so many poor Belgians in a row.

21/VII/17 - 33cl bottle from Willems (Grobbendonk), shared @ Belgian Ticks Tasting (home) - BB: n/a (or maybe we had the same problem as kraddel, but didn't even notice there was a date on the cap. Probably the same batch still, though) (2017-1092)

Different label, labeled as ’serafijn 6’ at 6.2 ABV. Date stamp is black, on a black cap... Genius !!!! In the right light, I THINK it is BB02/08/18. So I assume this is the new label? Pours darker blonde, head fades fast. smell is bit sweet, mild yeast. Taste is bitter, sharp, very yeasty. Bit metallic in the back, but in a right amount to still be good. Nice. overcarbonated though !
