Bottle sample at a tasting at Tom L’s place. Thanks Tom L. Golden. Malt, grains, a bit of honey, some stale hops, sweetish, bitterish finish, alcohol note.

0.33 l bottle from ’De Hopduvel’, best before March 2018. Very hazy (the yeast was swirled up by the carbonation), golden amber with a medium large, foamy, stable, off-white head. Sweetish-fruity aroma of lemon, grapefruit and tangerine zest. Sweetish, quite malty, fruity and slightly herbal taste of lemon, ginger, nettles, some caramel and a bit of grapefruit, followed by a medium long, quite bitter, a bit grassy and slightly herbal finish. Medium to full body, slightly creamy and rather effervescent mouthfeel, average to lively carbonation. Very tasty and moreish stuff, really unusual and exciting flavours, just a bit too much carbonation. Quite good!

26/06/2016 @home - 33cl bottle from Bierhalle Deconinck, Vichte. Hazy yellow colour with huge soapy head. Nose is lots of malt and lots of fruity hops (especially grapefruit). Taste is malts again, lots of bitter hops, hints of fruit.

Donkergeel bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is krachtig maar niet echt bijzonder. Weinig smaak nuances, alleen de alcohol komt naar voren.
Update: Blijkbaar was de eerste kennismaking met dit bier niet helemaal geslaagd, een tweede keer veel beter gewaardeerd: Mooie schuimkraag met volle smaak, krachtig, bitterzoet met iets van fruit, perzik en abrikoos.

Sample draft @ Zythos, thanks Klaas. Dorée assez transparente, col blanc. Arôme offre un nez herbacé complété par une levure lager d’inspiration Anchor qui confère un léger rétro fruité. Palais est assez épais et accompagné d’une note herbacée houblonnée, les 9% restent bien présent mais ajoutant une certaine dimension au caractère pils. La dimension levure est assez dominante et tente à prendre un peu le dessus. Cependant, le caractère s’éloigne radicalement de ce que l’on conçoit souvent au niveau pils impériale euro des pays de l’est, ici, l’accent est clairement sur une sorte d’hybride avec les US.
