6th Feb 2015: 3rd Belgian Beer Board bottle exchange at De Bierboom (Brugge). Shared bottle. Pale golden pour with a white topping. Nice blend in both the nose and taste, both malts and hops combining to give a good bitter and refreshing feel to the brew. Mild citrus notes are equalled out by a spicy and fruitiness below the surface. Nice, the alcohol level suited the flavours and although high for a UK IPA I thought it an interesting and delightful beer.

English-style IPA (glad those are still around as well, among all those - lovely - American interpretations), my first beer from this particular county. Stubby, very English 50 cl bottle. This bottle has apparently been lying down, as the neck contained a fair amount of a substance looking a lot like ’mud’ (probably dead yeast and proteins)... A bit off-putting I must say, but anyway. Cloudy peach blonde with more bits of this ’mud’ floating around; thick, regular, lightly yellowish white, creamy, stable head. A whole basket of ripe fruit in the nose, cantaloupe, orange, strawberry, overripe pear, lemon, pineapple, and impressions of limoncello, yoghurt, hay, tonic water, aspirin, vanilla. Crisp onset, sharpish carbonation, vivid fruitiness but more dry than I had expected, yeasty, minerally, bready with a grainy and smooth pale maltiness underneath, hop bitterness setting in early and increasing in the finish, explicitly bitter like grapefruit or even tonic water, leafy, very earthy and spicy, very long, tingling, with some malt sweetness underlying it and a hint of warming, gin-like alcohol. This is great for hop lovers, very quenching and appetizing, in which the Goldings hops shine in all their glory. Interesting indeed, as I mostly had citrussy, American hops in my IPAs lately.

500ml bottle from the brewery, shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours clear pale gold, thick white head. Aromas are soapy, lemon, biscuit. Taste is dry, lots of hop resin, buy in a very British way.
