Bottle sample @ ZBF’13 shared with the RB Belgian crew. Orangé trouble, col blanc. Arôme est houblonné, bien fruité, léger pointe de vin blanc pour un fini malté moyen. Palais garde un profil houblonné épais avec cette petite touche américaine. Pointe de vin blanc et d’agrumes. Un peu de mal a vraiment voir le bénéfice des cinq houblons. Même le profile unique de Nelson reste assez discret. Tomahaw et Cascade ajoute ce léger côté agrumes alors que le Sterling donne plus l’amertume noble européenne de pils.

Small off-white head over fully hazy mossy-orange beer. Fruity, aromatic C-hops, grapes, citrus - especially grapefruit. Dry-fruity, exotic fruit, but served on a bit of dry neutral cereals. Very slick, oily MF, medium to well-bodied and well-carbonated. Yes, this is a good IPA. Sod the Be hops.

33 cl. bottle sampled @ ZBF 2013. Lovely promotional images, same as the label I suppose. Hazy orange amber with white head. Nose is grapefruit, some caramel, some toffee, light citrus, floral bitter,… Taste is fizzy malts, light grapefruits, touch citrus, some sweet caramel, lighter, also herbal bitterness, light yeast,… Body is too fizzy. Fair going at it.

27/IV/13 - 33cl bottle @ Zythos Bierfestival (2013-398) Thanks to the Belgian ratebeer crew for sharing our beers today!

Cloudy orange beer, big creamy off-white head, bit stable, non adhesive. Aroma: grains, bit sweet and fruity, tangerines, some floral notes. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: lots of grapefruit, citrus, tangerines, little sweet, a dirty yeasty touch, bitter, bit chemical. Aftertaste: lots of grapefruit, yet no overall fruity impression, orange peel, little bitter, dirty ending. Did not like.

Note: retasted the beer on Sunday as well, and it could please me more. Quite a lot of passion fruit flavours in it as well, although it lacked a sweet malty base.
