Bottle from Hopduvel. New buckwheat beer with very thick and frothy, cream white, cobweb-lacing head and lightly hazy orange blonde colour with tiny bits of yeast floating everywhere; turns deeper lightly brownish orange and misty with deposit. Aroma of green apple, unripe plum, sweet banana, raw rhubarb, fresh sorrel, white bread dough, a deep sourish graininess I assume represents the buckwheat, pear, artisanal honey, dry earth, white pepper, soap, old paper, dried flowers, sweat. Crisp, fruity-estery onset, gooseberry, pineapple, pear, passion fruit, sweetish banana hint, spritzy carbo becoming even somewhat overcarbonated in numbing the tongue a bit and adding a dull sourishness especially in the beginning, followed by a smooth bready malt sweetness with a caramelly and honeyish edge alongside a deep, soft, basic grain sourishness and notable soapiness (undoubtedly the buckwheat); spicy accents too, a bit resinous mouthfeel in the end, while honeyish sweetness seems to increase a bit, insufficiently countered by a mild, floral, bit herbal, lightly spicy hop bitterishness. The honeyish malt sweetness gets the last word. Interesting and enjoyable, with certain saison-like traits, or at least it would have if it were drier and hoppier.

Bottle from de Hopduvel. Hazy orange colour, white foam. Sweet malty, bitter finish. Fruity with grainy notes. Well balanced. Bitter finish. Good!

Bottle @ weekly tasting shared with Dutchdrebus and Joes. Hazy orange color, medium to full sized white head. Smell and taste lightly malts, sweetish, iron, a hint of candy and something a little weird I can’t describe. --- Beer merged from original tick of Sarazen Bio Blonde on 04 Jun 2015 at 15:17 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.
