Cremiger, herb hopfiger Beginn. Geringe Süße, etwas bitter, leicht hopfig bleibend. Spritzig, erfrischend, wässriger Hintergrund. OK. 8/8/9/8//8

Almost clear golden yellow beer with a big white head. Aroma of mild tropical fruits, melons, citra, yeast. Taste of juicy hops, yellow fruits, melons, citra, hay, easy to drink.

Helder lichtgeel bier met veel stevig schuim. Smaak is bitterzoet en licht fruitig met iets van citrus en wat passievrucht. Overigens is dit volgens het etiket 3.5%

Smell-weak, faint hops, faint yeast maybe. Foam- thin, weak acidic tones, weak bitter tones, faint spur tones. Head is medium-sized, white in color. Appearance- interesting label, but generic cap. Hazy, dirty orange color, with some sediment. From - snifter Taste - weak hops, weak acidic tones, faint sourness, faint fruits. Somewhat meh.

Pours unclear yellow, medium sized, creamy, very stable white head. Smell is grassy hops, white pepper phenols. Taste is sharp, carbonic bite, grassy hops. Bitter finish. Very bice session beer, but of course calling this a NE style is pretty far off .

Hazy session IPA by this new brewery in Mortsel near Antwerp; bottle straight from the brewery, but without a label, as apparently these hadn't arrived yet at the time of sending. Thick, pillowy, egg-white, irregularly lacing, uneven-bubbled but stable head on a cloudy straw blonde beer with warmer apricot tinge. Aroma of lime flesh, orange blossom, green banana, guava, white bread, unripe pineapple, hints of green bitter weeds, gypsum, halfripe nectarine, cherimoya, vague toasted onion. Crisp, fruity onset, sweetish but quite restrainedly so especially for a hazy IPA, lots of lively carbonation (actually too coarse and sharp for the style, but I'm not bothered by it too much); hints of green banana, green pear, vague pineapple, lime and guava. Supple mouthfeel, not too thin for only 3% ABV, nice white-bready and doughy maltiness with a soapy edge, aromatized by rather pronounced fruity hoppiness hinting at green guava, unripe mango, lime zest and a touch of pear, filling the nose cavity retronasally. Meanwhile a decent, bit peppery bitterness is also established, drying the finish and lending it body; ends a bit yeasty but in a cleanish way, with this spicy-powdery hoppiness lingering as well, next to fainter chalky and carbon dioxide notes, the latter obviously still coming from the carbonation. Overcarbonated, but otherwise not bad at all - especially for a foreign style in Belgium and for a beginning brewery; very quenching, colourful, convincingly hazy and fruity-aromatic, but not too sweet and fruit juice-like, unlike many other modern NEIPA style beers - and that is certainly a plus for me, even if this is not my favourite style. Promising for the rest of the range I have in stock, waiting to be explored...

Draught Huge, dense white head, leaving textbook lace over fully hazy chromate yellow beer. Inviting fresh green leaves' nose, lunaria, exotic fruit, unripe bananapeel, straw. Warming up, ureum. Dry bitter, again straw, but fading a bit fast. Some vague citrus, other (unripe) exotic fruit. Light MF, gristslick, not empty, even a bit chewy/oily. Another excellent, light IPA, full of taste. Super!
