Bottle picked up in June 2013 from Dranken Geers, Oostakker, nr Gent, Belgie, consumed at home Friday 11th October 2013 Pours hazy warm gold colour with a large white frothy head. Touch fruity on nose. In the mouth this is a little rustic but there is some fruitiness and its also a little floral on nose perhaps. Usual Belgian beer characteristics come through but as hops go this is no world beater, its just fine. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Bouteille 33cl, BB 14/09/2014. Still unsure why DeProef insists on selling the 5-pack fresh outta the fridge but continues to stamp fresh-hoppy beers with a year BB date. Dorée sur une fine brume, col épais blanc. Arôme est léger houblonné, citronné et herbacé, malté avec une base rappelant un peu le renfermé ponctué de grains et d’une touche citronnée. Le tout à le don de me rappeler un peu la lavande. Palais est houblonné parfumé léger citronné, huileux et fleuri avec ici aussi ce côté lavande. Note fraîche de citronnelle assez agréable pour un fini sec et herbacé. Amertume reste modérée et ponctuée par ce côté sec - herbacé tirant sur le grain.

Sampled draft @ Chez Moeder Lambic Fontainas. Tasted all 5 variations alongside. All 5 hop varietals were completely new to me. Looks the same as the other hazy bright peach golden orange with a creamy white head. Maybe a small touch darker than the others. Almost USA hops in the nose, citrus fruits, passionfruit, most fruity in the nose of the 5. Taste is fruity near-USA hops wonderfully integrated with some white pepper and straw, apricot pits. Body feels touch fuller than others. Seeing Joris his review below seriously makes me question my sense of taste.

Part of a 5-set uniform tasting, recorded Disappearing yellowish, medium head, hazy yellow-orange beer. Chlorine, water purifier (chloramine), dry washing powder, artificial. Not volatile! Sweetish with a raw, dry ending, both hoppily herbal and straw (as munching on a piece of chairstuffing). Ballpoint ink, cardboard; chamomille warming up. Refreshing to a point, spritzy. Light body, long-lasting chemical bitterness. Unattractive, even repelling nose, which doesn’t ameliorate in the flavour. To be avoided.
