“Red ale” by this new microbrewery in Mortsel (Antwerp), thanks 77ships. Thick, very mousy, pale yellowish egg-white, uneven-bubbled, irregularly lacing head, misty amber robe with brownish tinge. Aroma of soaking wet peanuts, damp straw, rusk, tea, soggy bread, mandarin peel, banana, clove, cherry tomato, hint of iron. Fruity-estery onset, sweetish with a sourish touch, fig, dried apple peel, softish carb, slick peanutty and bready, bit caramelly malt sweetishness with some phenolic spiciness (clove, dried orange peel) on top and an earthy hop bitterish accent in the finish, alongside lingering bready yeastiness. Decent enough amber ale, neither a true Anglo-Saxon Irish red or red IPA or a true ‘spéciale belge’ – not sure whichever was the intention, but it is a solid and tasty Belgian ale regardless. Mortselarij seems to be among the better of all these new brewing initiatives constantly popping up in Belgium recently.

Beautiful red chestnut beer, veiled, under a small cream-coloured head. Caramel, faintly pharmaceutical, bit of rainwater, dark green leaves. Bitter-ish, dark leaves, dry. Horse chestnut or acorn. Caramel in the background, hardly sweet. Faintly (bitter) chocolate. Bit slick, medium bodied, dry. Medium carbonation, hardly visible. Not half bad!

2nd tasting (Bd 24-02-2022)
Small but stable yellow-cream head over hazy redbrown to amber beer. Short whiff of acidity, followed by nutty, leafy, but also hoppy aromas. Hint of brown candi sugar. Dry, dry-leafy bitterness. Short show of some rare restsugars, the followed by even drier bitterness, long lasting, and acquiring bitter nuts' flavours. Bit creamy feel, medium body, good carbonation. Very slight dry-out effect.
