Psychedelia is a blond beer starring the Moteuka hop variety from New Zealand. This very pale ale is brewed with light pale malt and a subliminal touch of biscuit malt allowing the distinctive passion fruit flavour and aroma of the aromatic hops to shine through and leaving a dry, bitter finish. A perfect aperitif for a warm summers day or a great everyday hoppy beer.

Fine & dense yellowish head over fully hazy copperish orange beer, well-carbonated; shards of lace and very stable foam. Grapey hops, grass, green leaves and fresh malts. Bitterish-fruity, grapefruit, apples, rosewater, almonds. Finish is even rather sweet. Touch spiciness - lemongrass? Quite spritzy - burpogenous. Medium bodied at best. Nice light beer. No fireworks, the label excepted, but drinks away ha(o)ppily.

Bouteille 33cl, BB 09/04/2015. Dorée-orangée, col beige épais. Arôme est fleuri très agréable pour un bouquet assez américain dans l’approche des houblons. Notes ’agrumes; pamplemousse, fleuri et herbacé avec un malt pâle en rétro-nasal. Palais est ici aussi agréablement fleuri. Des notes tropicales se dégagent avec un rappel de pamplemousse et une levure me rappelant étrangement un bon nombre d’autres DeProef. Profil reste assez sec dans les grains, note pâle malt, pointe de douceur en fin de bouche. Le tout restant fleuri et houblonné.

330ml bottle from beer-city.be
Pours orange with a foamy white head. Aroma of a bit musty hoppiness with notes of exotic fruits, grass, citrus, lemon, grapefruit and malts. Taste is smooth, hoppy, fruity, grassy and citrusy with hints of lemon and carbonation. Finish is hoppy, carbonated and fruity. Okay, quite hoppy blond ale, but could use some more fresh and refreshing notes.

33 cl bottle @ home, BBE 08.04.2015
Aroma has soapy citrus, some apricot, floral notes and herbs. Flavour has floral notes, fruity hops, some orange, apricot and grapefruit. Palate is too high on CO2 and it stings. Nice anyway.

11/VI/13 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker) @ home - BB: 9/IV/15 (2013-551)
Clear pale orange beer, big aery white head, unstable, bit fizzy, falls down quickly, only a little adhesive. Aroma: lots of exotic fruits, passion, mango, lemons and even lemonade, ripe peaches, bit piny. MF: way too much carbon, that's a shame... light to medium body. Taste: grassy hops, citrus, gentle fruitiness, not as much as one would have hoped from the aroma. Pretty bitter, more citrus. Aftertaste: fruity impression, lots of citrus, slightly sweet, pineapple, some toasty malts, bit of honey, nice bitter ending. Wow, a Motueka beer that I really like!

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving gloppy sheets to coat surface. Sweet citrus and caramel aromas. Sharp with lemon citrus upfront turning to grapefruit pith in the dry, medium length finish.
