75cl bottle @ Poechenellekelder, Brussels. Pours cloudy amber with a off white creamy head and lacings. Nose is spicy and fruity. Orange peel and mild spice and hops. Smooth and full bodied. Dry and crisp with some herbal touches. Nice

draft at Delirium in Brussels - Pours lightly hazy orange with a one finger, long lasting head that laces heavily. It smells of malt and citrus hops. The taste is well hopped with some good malt for balance and nice herbal notes. It’s light and lively in the mouth and very quaffable. Nice beer.

Draught at ZBF 2009, Sint-Niklaas, Belgium
Hazy to muddy orange-brown body. Aroma of strong malts overpowered by citric hops (citric like lemon, lime and especially grapefruit). Moderately bitter, moderately sweet flavour. Has a nice hoppy touch of American hops. I thought both Cascade and Amarillo, but the brewed says they used no Cascade ... Bit funny the aromo is this citric as Amarillo tends to be more flowery and Cascade to be more citric ... Very great, clean beer.

Sampled at Zythos 2009. Cloudy russet, lasting deep biege head. Sour hop aroma which isn’t entirely pleasant. Unbalanced. Hops are all over the place, some mandarin fruit, bit muddy on mouthfeel. Good effort, average execution.

Draught at Zythos Beer Festival, March 7th and 8th 09 Pours mid amber with a white head. The aroma on this beer is grapefruit and light sugary touches There is grapefruit in the mouth but also some soft overipe apricot and along with the hoppiness maybe a little gingery burn as well. Very, very nice. A7 A4 F8 P4 OV16 3.9

Good, short-lived off-white head; hazy amber-orange beer. Very citrussy aroma, minneola’s, kafir-lime. Sweetish taste with slight flowery, and more obvious citrussy notes, cookies, with a retronasal hopbitterness and -flavour. Very spritzy, yet not overcarbonated. In the long aftertaste, delicate flowery-hops notes. Despite poured a bit too warm, again a perfectly enjoyable beer from J-J. Thanks to Joe! Second try Draught Medium, short-lived yellow head over fully hazy orange-amber beer 4/5. Beautiful USA-hops, fresh & delicate, yet powerful. 7/10 Beautiful USA hops, mid-bitter, mid-aroma, lunaria, unripe exotic fruit. 7/10 Just enough malts for medium body, quite slick. 4/5 Just as the bottled version, it’s superb. J-J is one of the best things to arrive to the Walloon beerscene in decades. 15/20
