Bottle received from Ster as a random gift, thanks sis! Tried to open it as carefully as I could, but I was still confronted with one of the most violent cases of gushing I ever experienced: even with the crown cap lifted for about one millimeter, foam spouted out of the small opening with great force - if I had opened this in one movement, I certainly would have had an inches-high fountain. Even in being as careful as I could, I could not prevent losing about 2/3 (!) of the beer into the sink. Sigh... if I could, I’d give a plain 0/5 for appearance. What I managed to capture, showed a thin, off-white, loose head and some thin ’islands’ of light greyish foam in the middle, floating on top of a completely murky, muddy, ochre-coloured pool with a peachy tinge to it, looking like some homemade pear juice or something alike; the last, ugly and meagre remnants of the head were completely gone seconds later. Aroma of citrus-scented hand soap, orange flesh, (quite strong) urine (old hops for sure), unfermented white sugar, ripe pear, stale lime juice, soggy sandwiches, raw cake dough, green banana, passion fruit lemonade, soaking wet paper, cooked and sugared rhubarb, fermenting apples, steeped Stevia leaves. Sweetish, even ’worty’ onset, hints of pear, pineapple and overripe gooseberry with a sourish touch, nearly no carbonation left - obviously the carbon dioxide fled out of the bottle completely upon opening - making it feel particularly flat in the mouth, certainly in combination with the low ABV; watery as a result, but at the same time utterly soapy as well, very unpleasantly so. Cereally and bready malt sweetishness in the middle, lingering fruity esters, some misplaced phenols and eventually a hoppy finish, the only redeeming aspect of it, mildly but adequately bittering, citrusy but certainly not as ’tropical’ as the label states, bit peppery, but then this extreme soapiness shows up again, preventing a happy hoppy ending altogether. Something went terribly wrong here, I can imagine this being a lot better if carried out correctly from a technical viewpoint, but in this shape and form, this is close to disaster and by far the worst BBP beer I ever had. Not infected, but refermented in a completely wrong way with the carbon dioxide fiercely fleeing the scene, leaving behind a thin, watery, exaggeratedly soapy, stale and worty mess of a beer. Shame, because we urgently need more session IPAs in this country. Will probably revisit if I stumble upon it again but I’m wondering how many other consumers, having bought bottles of this at BBP, will be confronted with this nightmarish amount of gushing...

3/II/17 - 33cl bottle from the brewery @ home - BB: 1st quarter/VIII/18 (2017-103) Thanks to Daniella & Lesly for the bottle!
GUSHER ALERT!
Very cloudy beige beer, big bubbled fizzy aery head, unstable, falls down immediately. Aroma: bit fruity, rotten stuff, grains, malty, wet cardboard. MF: ok carbon, light body. Taste: some citrus, bit watery, bitter touch, lemony, some grapefruit, ginger touch. Aftertaste: citrus, bit metallic, grains, malts, little fruity, sourish. Meh, big no no, alas. It sounded so promising though. :(

Bottle @ home, from BBP. They warned me it’s a gusher, so heads up, but also note they’re honest about it and warned me before selling it. Pours unclear amber, big white head fades fast. Smell is rather grassy hops, rather bitter. Taste is rather herbal, not as hoppy as expected. Late taste has some twisted maltyness. Not really like infection though ( not sour, not funky ) and not the ’plastic’ notes I can get if something went wrong in fermentation. For all that matter, I am not tasting anything that I know is a brewing flaw ( plus that seems highly unlikely , regarding the backlog of this Brewery ) So perhaps it’s a specific roast of malts, a specific yeast, or these hops, that give the unknown-twisted-sidetaste ? Anyway, for a session IPA, this needs way more hops. Than again, I love breweries that have the guts to try, and BBP is doing just that, with this series. Not the best one yet in the series though.

330 ml. bottle @ Brussels Beer Project. BBF 08/18. Hazy orange, little white head. Nose is yeasty obscuring the tropical fruit, big yeast & very heavy soap. Taste is overly soapy, fish guts yeast, sugar, soap, soggy cardboard, rotting oatmeal, sugar, spoiled, rotting, tropical fruits are all obscured. Body is soap & awful oatmeal. SIPA with tropical fruits shouldn’t be this unpleasant, no idea what happened here, bad bottle?

Bottle shared by Joes. Pour gently cause it has loads and loads of yeast chunks floating in it. Hazy yellow to light orange color, average sized white to off-white head. Aroma is really nice, hoppy, tropical fruit hoppy. Taste has defintely got some hops but not as nicely fruity as the aroma suggested. Decently bitter though. Decent beer.

Bouteille @ BBP. Orangée laissant un léger trouble, col fin blanc. Arôme au bouquet tropical augurant de suite de fines effluves de papaye avec un grains qui est un peu trop dominant et un rappel belge au niveau de ces derniers. Palais est léger, sec voire terreux, mon verre présente par ailleurs pas mal de sédiments de levure alors que la bouteille venait d’être ouverte. Petite aspiration tropicale clairement orientée sur le Mosaic, car je n’ai pu retrouver le caractère tranchant du Citra. J’ai eu peine à détecter le gingembre, qui semble repris sur l’étiquette. Cependant, le côté papaye est bien là assez plaisant avec un fini sec noble en amertume qui reflète le Magnum dans une lignée plus allemande. Je m’attendais à bcp plus en terme de caractère des houblons qui sont relégués en retrait par rapport à une base malts et levure qui me rappelent, une fois de plus, l’origine belge. C’est session mais je n’ai pas vraiment voyagé avec ces houblons qui pourtant peuvent conférer un super bouquet - pour preuve le Half Acre Mosaic Dream qui était sublime.
