Bottle bought at my local butcher's shop (Bruges), to celebrate its anniversary, and to promote this new microbrewery in Ghent. The label states to leave the deposit in the bottle, but I pour most of it in one glass and the rest with deposit in another.
Without deposit: hazy golden with a quickly disappearing, white head. The aroma contains lots of yeast, barnyard, basement aromas, spices, some fruits and cooked vegetable. It tastes medium bitter and light sweet with a dry finish. Light, almost medium body, watery texture, soft carbonation. A bit soapy.
With deposit: cloudy ochre, no head, and indeed lots of dregs. More yeast in the aroma, earth, dust, cellar, some spices. Medium bitter and leaning towards light sour. Dry finish, and rather 'heavy' on the stomach. Palate remains the same.
All in all, an interesting brew (with an 'old fashioned' aroma) that needs some polishing but unfortunately, that doesn't automatically give it a pleasant taste...

Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker, Nr Gent, Belgie, consumed at home whilst cooking Conchiglioni with Salmon and Dill and a Pannatonne Bread and Butter Pudding for dessert. Pours gold/light amber with a white bubbly head. My first impressions are of a soapy Belgian washing up liquid type golden/Tripel (it’s not great!). The nose has a plasticy and yeasty aroma. Sweet but lacks depth, struggling with this, it’s not offensive but it’s not great either. A5 A4 T4 P2 Ov9 2.4

Pours unclear blonde, small white head. Smell is bitter. Very yeasty. Taste is very yeasty as well. Not refreshing at all. Very metallic, bit ’wrang’ as well. High carbo , extremely high. Some aspects point out to mild dyacethyl, which turns intense later on. Freakishly full of DMS . Possible a bit infected to. How wrong can it be ?

Bottle @ weekly tasting shared with Thompson. Label days bottle date September 4th 2015. Cloudy orange color, full sized rough white head that lasts for quite a while and leaves fair lacing. Aroma is hard to describe, sort of a slight sweetish fruity hint. Tastes about the same: lightly malts, slightly sweet, a distant hint of fruit. Decent body and carbonation. Bit weird but not offensive.
