1 September 2019. At Brouwbar, Ghent. Shared with Anke! Pours clear pale golden with a lasting, thin, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of yellow grapefruit, pomelo, tangerine, unripe peach, dough, herbs. Taste is light fruity sweet, young tangerine & peach over a yeasty & bready character, bitter stonefruit & grapefruit peel with a spicy touch, leading to a dry, earthy hoppy finish, a tad floral, with lingering unripe fruit, bread & a tonic-like effect. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Extremely drinkable Session Ale, less 'impressive' than other Brouwbar brews but still well-made.

3/X/19 - on tap @ Brouwbar (Gent), BB: n/a - (2019-1695) - second batch, thank heavens this has been brewed again, for I almost missed out on it. ;-)
Clear blond beer, big solid creamy yellowish head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: lots of citrus, sourish impression, bit malty, floral, fruity notes. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bit malty, nice bitterness, some peaches, tropical fruits, soft acidity. Aftertaste: nice bitterness, bit sourish, hoppy, bit spicy, pineapple notes, nice one!

The newest embodiment of Brouwbar’s ongoing session IPA series, this time hopped with Huell Melon, Simcoe, Amarillo and Chinook. Egg-white, fluffy, mousy, stable and dense head, misty deep golden blonde with apricot hue. Aroma of lime zest, unripe green mango flesh, freshly cut grass, green melon, minerals, banana peel, white bread slices. Fruity onset in a very clean, crisp manner, very fizzy carbonation with minerally effects, slick cereally and white-bready malt base, very smooth. The hoppiness maintains a primarily green, grassy character but does add aspects of green onion, grapefruit and lime zest as well, though only providing mild bitterness. Refreshing, with minerally aspects lingering at the back. Seems a bit more restrained in aromatic hoppiness than the previous Brouwbar ISAs, but since this is a brewpub in a rather touristy part of the city where casual passers-by also need to be quenched, Brouwbar tends to ‘tightrope walk’ between introducing foreign craft beer styles to said passers-by on the one hand and offering them a beer they can easily digest on the other hand. And as usual, Brouwbar has completed this balancing exercise in a very elegant, focused and streamlined manner.
