Au début, c'était un pied de nez à la brasserie De Ranke et sa superbe XX Bitter. Maintenant elle est une création devenue régulière à La Franche avec la ferme intention de déboiter les papilles. 90 IBU minimum garantis signifient que cette bière s'adresse aux amateurs de grosse amertume tirant sur la résine et les agrumes.

Sampled 750 ml. bottle @ “Vini Birre Ribelli 2015”. Hazy citrus, small white head. Nose is weirdly mineral, spoiled yeast, floral, fizzy. Taste is dry floral, big chalk & chalky yeast, hay, yeast dominates in taste & body. Odd, overly yeasty & chalky. I can manage but not really for me.

Bottle split at CBC Clerko, thanks to Fergus, 10/09/15. Lightly hazed golden with a decent off white covering. Nose is earthy hop, straw, orange, toasted malt. Taste comprises soft bread dough, melon, tangerine, straw, hint of lemon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok but pretty pedestrian for style ... needs hopping up !

Craft Clerkenwell Bottle Share. Thanks to Meester Frog. Lightly hazy gold beer, decent white head. Palate is airy, semi dry and crisp. Caramel malts that taste slightly oxidised. Floral bitterness turning tangy. Floral bitter finish. Okay.

Bottle thanks to Fergus. It pours murky gold with a medium white head. The nose is toasted grain, doughy malt, soft orange citrus and apricot jam. The taste is crisp, bitter, mild sweetness, toasted grass, white bread, light paper and lemon peel with a dry, grassy finish. Light - medium body and average carbonation. Pretty alright.
