Bottle at home. Pours unclear, dark blonde. Rather small white head. Smell is intense hoppy, both aromatic and bitter. Towards the Amarillo-like hoppyness. Taste is intense. Very bitter, grainy with a sweet touch. Mildly bitter in the aftertaste. Rather faded aromahops. OK balanced, but I feel like the aroma-side should have been higher, and the MF more robust. Still very good. I wonder why this was not added as an IPA, even though it clearly is one.

Good, thick cream-ish head over clear foxy-orange beer, leaving textbook lace. Quite earthy nose, bit human sweat, leafy, parsley, cookies, and, of course, hops. Bitter hoppy and again, truly earthy flavour. Again this meaty-sweat streak too, but never disturbingly. Bit of caramel, non-sweet. Very tittilating MF, rather well-bodied, hopoily slickness. I don’t get the negative comments below, I’m not getting any chemical flavour. I rather like this.

33cl bottle courtesy of and shared with Tderoeck. BB 20/02/2020, déjà là c’est problématique, et on trouve un côté irréaliste pour une bière mettant un point d’honneur à utiliser 20 houblons. Pq mettre des dates si loin dans le temps alors que le profil frais des houblons commencera à tomber sous les 6-8 mois? Arôme est décevant surtout en attendant une explosion de houblons, je retrouve des effluves essentiellement fleuries très nobles pour un malté carapils, pâle. Palais est malté, cara, léger pils, fruité présentant un côté citronné et fleuri. Résiduel sucre brun en fin de bouche. Pas franchement à redire, mais l’étiquette de cette bouteille est quand même assez louche, sentiment partagé par notre table. De couleur orangée, col fin beige. Ok, mais j’ai énormément de mal à voir une quelconque dimension et encore moins un caractère venant de 20 houblons. Le tout semble fortement centré sur une base noble avec d’autres houblons utilisés à faible pourcentage. Décevant de la part de Cazeau.

Thanks to tderoeck! 330 ml. bottle sampled. The label features a creepy guy hiding in the bushes whilst grinning & holding a bottle of beer. I am getting some solid Marc Dutroux vibes here, even the fascial here,… The name of beer is apparently local dialect for “together”,… Seriously creepy & messed-up stuff right here,… Anyway the beer features a baffling amount of 20! European hops, it doesn’t specify which ones. It is also 20° Plato, 20 EBC, 4 * 20 IBU,…. BBF 20/02/2020. Hazy orange, little white. Nose is sweet milky yeast, sugar, perfume & chemical / pesticide,… Taste is milky yeast, chemical & unpleasant perfume hops, candy, spoiled candy, spoiled milk, herbal,… Totally unpleasant. Awful chemical bitterness,… Heavily unpleasant. They should probably fixed more on the flavor than their bizarre preoccupation with the number 20. I just hope that this beer will keep them home and not lucking in the bushes….
