Bottle shared at The Kernel, London, thanks to Paul Scopey. Poura a hazy, amber-gold with a small, bubbly head. Ripe melon nose with some toasty pine, leather and straight bready toast. Medium sweet flavor, fairly boozy, with ripe, semi-dark fruits and faint brown sugar. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Warm finish with toasted sugar, some meat notes, leaves, faint earth. Meh.

Bottle from La Cave à Bulles. It pours cloudy amber, with a bubbly off-white head, which quickly dissipated. The nose is varnish, resin, sticky sweetness and tangy raisin. The taste is caramel, residual sweetness, brown bread, spice, wood, varnish and tangy dark fruit (raisin, fig etc), with a dry, warming finish. No good.

33cl bottle @ Delirium Hoppy Loft, thanks Antoine. BB 12/2013. Une IPA annonçant 120 EBU dont les derniers sont perdus autour du feu de camp. Couleur orangée, col blanc très fin. Arôme est faible pour le houblon rappelant plus une sorte d’écume salée, ressent un houblon faiblard avec un malt tout aussi en retrait. En bouche, une bière en manque de carbonnation, très voire trop plate, houblon reste modéré se faisant plus présent que en arôme. Impression de vieux malt et ce profile rappelant trop de bières françaises de qualité moyennes avec un tout qui pour moi reste loin d’être dans le style. Dommage car déjà il y a un évident problème d’embouteillage, deuxièmement, en essayant de percer le marché belge, nous vendre ce type de produit fait tout sauf créer une bonne pub. Pour ma part, je réfléchirai à deux fois avant de recommander une Fleurac, du moins pas au prix vendu ici. Dommage. Le pire étant que à côté j’avais une IPA et une DIPA de Hoppin Frog, et je peux dire que là, les houblons ils avaient de la vie.

15 cl. draft // Fleurac tasting @ Delirium Hoppy Loft // same recipe as “L’Amerindienne”, different malts // (a) dark amber with a lambic head // (s) sweet, caramel, gummy bears, candy (dominating), it is the malts that dominate, I suppose // (t) sweet caramel upfront, candy & candy sugar, gummy bears, followed by mutter down & completely contrasting, grassy & herbal bitter hops, slightly linger, very weird & clashing combination, liked it definitely more than “L’Amerindienne”, because of the gummy bears, you know // (b) touch light, near touch watery, low carb, quite oily // weird stuff // had this one again together with ajax25g & Sebletitje // courtesy of Antoine // split a 33 cl. bottle // I should probably down rate this based on the bottle but I will leave the original rating // smells like stale seawater, seriously, no hops this time around, if any the seawater block everything, dear lord, weird & not particularly appetizing, truly fascinatingly weird // taste is similar to draft one, no sea water luckily here, beer is definitely down a notch here from the already not so stellar draft one // not crazy about this brewery, that is for sure, coffee stout was okay but more like real coffee than coffee flavoured, they did use coffee basically instead of brewing water to make it, Octo was enjoyable but definitely not worth the price tag it usually commands
